geography
The place is a good 100 km as the crow flies south of the Voronezh Oblast Administrative Center in the forest steppe area west of the Don .
Kamenka is the administrative center of the Rajons Kamenski and seat and only town of the municipality Kamenskoe gorodskoje posselenije.
history
The place was founded in 1750 as a hamlet (chutor) by Cossacks of the Ostrogoshsk Cossack regiment. At the beginning of the 1870s, the Moscow - Voronezh - Rostov-on-Don railway passed by and the Jewdakowo station opened there, named after the headquarters of what was then the Volost, about 5 km to the northwest .
As a result, the importance of the village of Kamenka, which is located at the station, grew, so that the Volost seat was relocated there. In 1928 it became the administrative seat of the newly created Rajons named after him. In 1937 Kamenka received urban-type settlement status. The Rajon was renamed Jewdakowski rajon in 1935 and temporarily dissolved in 1962, but restored under its current name in 1973.
During World War II , Kamenka was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from July 1942 to January 18, 1943 .
