The city is located about 40 km east of the Oblast capital Samara at the confluence of the Great Kinel (Bolshoi Kinel) in the Samara , a left tributary of the Volga .

Kinel is directly subordinate to the Oblast administratively, forms its own urban district and is at the same time the administrative center of a Rajon named after him , whereby the city itself does not belong to the Rajon.

The city is located on the southern branch of the Trans-Siberian Railway Moscow –Samara– Chelyabinsk - Omsk (route km 1139 from Moscow), from which the line to Orenburg - Tashkent branches off. The eastern end of the freight bypass around Samara, which was opened in 1970, is also in Kinel.

history

A first village was founded near today's city in 1837. In 1877 the Samara – Orenburg railway line was passed here; a station settlement was built, named after the river that flows into the Samara not far. In 1892 Kinel was chosen as the starting point for a line initially to Slatoust ( Samara-Slatouster Railway ), which was extended a little later to Chelyabinsk and formed the basis for the original route of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Station settlement and surrounding villages gradually merged; on January 30, 1930 Kinel received urban-type settlement status and on March 16, 1944 town charter .
