geography
The settlement is located about 35 kilometers as the crow flies southeast of the regional capital Chita , on the left bank of the Amur source river Ingoda , at the southern end of its breakthrough valley through the main ridge of the Cherski Mountains , opposite the confluence of the Olengui tributary.
Novokruchininsky belongs to the Chita Raion . The settlement forms a municipality (gorodskoje posselenije), to which no other localities belong.
history
The village of Kruchina, six kilometers north of the settlement, was first mentioned in 1735 in Stepan Krasheninnikov's travelogues . At the end of the 19th century, the small settlement Beloglinowka existed in place of today's location, on the opposite bank of the Ingoda a little above the village of Alexandrowka. After the construction of the local section of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1900, the Rasjesd No. 61 railway station was opened there in 1904 .
During the Soviet period, a larger, new settlement was built in the 1920s, which was initially simply called Novaya , meaning “New Settlement”. In 1929 the now expanded train station was also given this name. In 1937 the current name came into use, which refers to the name of the original village.
In 1958 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
