Krasnokumskoje ( Russian Красноку́мское ) is a village (selo) in the Stavropol region in Russia with 17,137 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The place is located on the northern edge of the Greater Caucasus a good 150 km as the crow flies southeast of the regional administrative center of Stavropol , between the Kuma and its right tributary Podkumok, a little above its mouth.
Krasnokumskoje belongs to Georgievsky Rajon and is located 3 km northeast of the center of the Georgievsk Rajon administrative seat , to which it is almost directly connected. The settlement is the seat and only locality of the rural commune (selskoje posselenije) Selo Krasnokumskoje.
history
The place was founded in 1778 by order of the Russian Empress Catherine II as a Cossack settlement , one year after the nearby Georgievsk fortress. At first there was also a military hospital (Russian hospital ), which is why the settlement, as a suburb of Georgiyevsk, was given the name Gospitalnaja slobodka , which was retained even after the Georgiyevsk fortress and hospital were closed.
After the October Revolution , the place was given the name Krasnaja slobodka (from Russian krasny for red , here with a political reference) in 1919 , and in 1933 its current name with reference to the Kuma River. During the Second World War , the village was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from August 1942 to early 1943 .
From the 1970s onwards, the previously insignificant village increasingly developed into a residential suburb and location of various supply and construction companies in the city of Georgievsk, to which it was directly subordinate to the administration until 2001.
