geography

Novokubansk is located in the foothills of the Caucasus on the left bank of the Kuban River and near the border between the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions . Novokubansk is 187 kilometers away from the subject capital Krasnodar to the west . The closest city is the city of Armavir , which is 12 km southeast of Novokubansk.

The city consists of two districts that emerged from former villages: Khutorok ( Хуторок ) and Sacharny ( Сахарный ).

history

The city was founded in 1867 as a village called Kubanskoye (Кубанское), which was founded by former soldiers of a Cossack army . Due to the influx of former farmers from central Russian regions, the place grew rapidly and in 1874 already had around 1500 inhabitants. In 1875 a railway line was laid through the place, which also brought new population with it.

Kubanskoye was dominated by agriculture until the 20th century. Since the end of the 19th century, the place had the status of a stanitsa with the name Novokubanskaya. In the early Soviet period , the first industrial companies and newer residential areas emerged. Khutorok , north of the Stanitsa, received urban-type settlement status in 1939 , which was renamed Novokubanski in 1961 . With the unification of the settlement and Stanitsa in 1966, the place received city rights under its current name.
