history

The city was founded in 1777 as one of ten fortresses to guard the southern borders of the Russian Empire . The city name goes back to a custom of the time to give new cities in Russia Greek names (cf. Sevastopol , Mariupol ). The name "Stavropol" means city of the cross. The origin of this name is a legend that says that when the fortress was being built, a large stone cross was discovered in the ground. In 1785 the place received city status, in 1847 it became the provincial capital. Due to its location on a post route from the European part of Russia to the Caucasus and its importance as a military base, the city developed relatively quickly economically. At the end of the 19th century, Stavropol received a railway connection .

The city ​​changed sides several times during the Russian Civil War and was finally captured by the Red Army in January 1920 . In 1935, the city was named in honor of Marshal Voroshilov in Woroschilowsk renamed, however, received eight years later to its original name.

From August 1942 to January 1943, the city was occupied by German troops during World War II . Before that, around 100,000 residents had fled, so that the city only had a few ten thousand inhabitants when the Germans invaded. Many houses were destroyed by fighting in January 1943, and many more were set on fire by the Wehrmacht as they retreated. In the spring and summer of 1943, many residents returned to the city.
