Situation in Russia

Location in Khakassia

Kopjowo ( Russian Копьёво ) is an urban-type settlement in the Republic of Khakassia ( Russia ) with 4401 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The settlement is located about 175 km as the crow flies northwest of the republic's capital Abakan on the left bank of the Chulym , a few kilometers below its origin from the rivers White Ijus (Bely Ijus) and Black Ijus (Tschorny Ijus).

Kopjowo is the administrative center of the Rajons Ordschonikidsewskoje . Five kilometers north of the settlement is the village of the same name Kopjowo .

history

The history of the settlement begins with the construction of the Achinsk  - Abakan railway line in 1914, at which a station was to be built a few kilometers south of the old village of Kopjowo. As a result of the World War and the civil war , the completion and commissioning of the line was delayed until 1925. The date of commissioning of the section from Ushur , September 20, 1923, is also considered the foundation date of the Kopjowo station settlement.

With the establishment of a forestry operation in 1930, a rapid population growth began, which continued into the 1950s. In 1959 it received the status of an urban-type settlement and became the administrative seat of the raion (which was previously in the former settlement of the urban-type Ordzhonikidsevsky, now the village of Ordzhonikidsevskoye ), whereby the raion name was retained.
