Mosque in Mendeleevsk

In the vicinity of the older Dordes Bondjuga , a settlement was established in 1868 in connection with the establishment of the Bondjuschski Sawod chemical plant by the merchant P. Uschkow, from which today's city emerged.

In 1928 it received the status of an urban-type settlement under the name Bondyushski . In 1967 the villages of Bondjuga, Tichije Gory and Lenino (formerly Kamaschewo) were incorporated and granted city rights under their current name (after Dmitri Mendeleev , who briefly worked in the chemical plant).
