history

Nevinnomyssk was founded in 1825 as a Cossack settlement ( Stanitsa ) near a fort, which was built in 1784 as one of the nine fortresses of the so-called Azov - Mozdoker defense line on the North Caucasian section of the Russian state border. Since the fort had been built exactly on a cape on the Kuban bank, which was named Newinny - literally "the innocent" (according to legend, because Caucasian warriors had murdered innocent women and children there) - was civilized for the settlement later the name Nevinnomysskaya , meaning "settlement on the innocent cape".

Since a large part of the Caucasian territories went to Russia in the 19th century, Nevinnomysskaya quickly lost its importance as a border post; Instead, agriculture developed there, which was favored by the fertile soil and the comparatively mild climate. The first factory was built in Stanitsa at the end of the century, and in 1875 it was connected to the Russian railway network with the relocation of the line to Vladikavkaz .

In 1939 Nevinnomysskaya received city status and from then on was called City of Nevinnomyssk. In 1936 the construction of a large irrigation canal began there for the needs of agriculture in the Stavropol region. However, it was not completed until 1948, mainly because the city was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from August 1942 to January 1943 during the Second World War and was severely damaged.

In the 1950s and 1960s, a large number of industrial companies emerged in Nevinnomyssk. During this time, its population almost doubled. In the mid-1970s it passed the city mark of 100,000 inhabitants.
