history

Novokuibyshevsk was founded as an industrial and residential area for the neighboring Samara, which was then called Kuibyshev (Russian Ку́йбышев ) after the politician Valerian Kuibyshev . The city's beginnings date back to 1946, when the construction of the Novokuibyshev oil refinery began. Originally only planned as a small workers' settlement, the place continued to grow due to its convenient location in terms of transport. In 1952 it was granted city rights and in the mid-1960s exceeded the city mark of 100,000 inhabitants. In 1992 the Mayak settlement (Russian Мая́к ) was incorporated into Novokuibyshevsk.

Economy and Transport

Novokuibyshevsk train station

Novokuibyshevsk is an industrial city where petroleum processing and chemical industries play the most important role in the economy. In addition, there is a pipeline factory, two thermal power stations and several companies from the light and food industry. The large number of pollutant-intensive industrial companies in a relatively small area causes a high level of air pollution in Novokuibyshevsk, even by Russian standards.

The city's main traffic connections start from neighboring Samara , where there is a connection to the M5 trunk road , an inland port and an international airport. Novokuibyshevsk also has its own train station with connections to Samara, Chapayevsk and Syzran, among others .
