In 1875 the "Kotlyarevskaya" railway station was built three kilometers to the south and is still in operation today. In 1888 a settlement was founded around Stanitsa, which was renamed “Prischibski” in 1920 and “Maiski” in 1925, literally “ Maistadt ”.

The settlement and the Stanitsa were united in 1959. In 1965, the resulting community received city status.
