history

The place was founded in 1843 as a base for the Orenburg Cossacks as part of the settlement of the Nowolineiny rajon . As Nowolineiny rajon ("New Line Rajon") the previously sparsely populated and hardly used agriculturally area along the borderline of the Russian Empire to the not yet colonized steppe areas of the later Russian Turkestan between the fortresses Orsk and Troitsk was called. Like many of the settlements in the area, it was given the name of a scene of a Russian victory in the wars of the 18th and 19th centuries, in this case the Ottoman port city of Çeşme , in the 1770 during the Russo-Turkish War (1768– 1774) the naval battle of Çeşme took place. The common name in Russian and, based on this, also in Western European historiography in the respective transcription in relation to the battle was Tschesma.

On January 19, 1935, Tschesma became the administrative seat of a Rajon named after him.
