history

Settlements in the place of today's village were first mentioned in a document in 1864 as a "hamlet on the Grachovka river"; 1873 as a hamlet (chutor) Gratschowski, with a post office. The hamlet was on the territory of Ujezds Stavropol in the Stavropol governorate . In 1916, the railway line passed from the Kawkasskaya station (in today's city of Kropotkin ) via Petrowskoje (today Swetlograd ) to Winodelnoje (today Ipatowo ) and a station named after the village of Spizewka 12 km southeast of the hamlet was opened to the east of the hamlet .

After the dissolution of the governorate and the Ujesde in 1924, the area belonged to various rajons as a result of several administrative changes, whereby the hamlet and the station settlement initially remained insignificant. During the Second World War , the villages were captured by the German Wehrmacht in August 1942 as part of their Edelweiss operation and recaptured by the Red Army on January 19, 1943 during the North Caucasian Operation .

After the end of the war, and especially in the 1960s, the place was built into a center for agriculture and processing of agricultural products, and the contiguous village was created under its current name. On December 11, 1970, the Grachovsky rajon, based in Grachovka, was formed from parts of the Alexandrowski and Shpakovsky rajons.
