On the fertile Kuban land, on the right bank of a small river, among the green fields and beautiful gardens is a small southern town. More than 200 years ago, a chicken was built here, which in the second half of the last century became a city. In theory, the population of Timashevsk should hate coffee. Because the enterprises of the food group "Nestle" often cover almost the whole city with the smell of freshly ground coffee.
Geographic location
Timashevsk is located in the Krasnodar Territory, on two banks of the Kirpili River. It is located at a distance of 70 km from the administrative center of the region. Nearby are the borders with the Stavropol Territory, Rostov Region, Abkhazia and Karachay-Cherkessia. You can get to this southern town by train Rostov - Krasnodar. True, modern electric trains stop a little further from the city railway station, although the city is located at the intersection of transport routes. You can go back by taxi or bus. The settlement is located at an equal distance from the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, all sea resorts are located at a distance of 100-200 km.
general information
The city is in the zone of temperate climate, the most favorable for living. In winter, the temperature rarely drops below zero, a comfortable temperature of 20-25 degrees lasts from May to September.
More than half of the urban area is occupied by the industrial zone, which is largely due to its favorable geographical position. Timashevsk is on its way from the port of Novorossiysk to the central regions of Russia. Enterprises of many multinational corporations work here, in connection with which the city has low unemployment. Therefore, the vacancies of the Employment Center of Timashevsk are practically not in demand. The oldest buildings date back to the beginning of the 20th century, for example, the house of Deacon Suprunov, Ataman Maly, and the building of the parish school.
History
In 1794, the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks moved to this southern region Timashevsky Kuren (military unit), so named in honor of the leader Timos Fedorovich. According to another version, perhaps more reliable, the new settlement was named according to the geographical origin of the founders, immigrants from the village of Timoshovka, Cherkasy region of Ukraine.
Initially, the chicken was located elsewhere. But after the draw, carried out by order of the ataman Chepigi, Timashevsky Kuren moved to the right bank of the Kirpili River. In 1842, Kuren received the status of a village and could elect its chieftain. The first school was built in 1874, then only 1 teacher worked in it, who taught 39 students.
During World War II, Timashevsk was captured for a short time by the Germans. In 1966 received the status of a city. Currently, there are 15 large enterprises of the food industry. Among them are international corporations Nestle, Wimm-Bill-Dann and Tetrapak.
Population
When the Zaporozhye Cossacks came to the Kuban Territory, they built four kuren, Timashevsky was the smallest. The cossacks of the Cossacks called a settlement of 100 houses. The initial population of Timashevsk was exactly 100 sabers, that is, it could put up a detachment of 100 Cossacks. When counting the inhabitants of the settlement at that time, only representatives of the Cossack estate were taken into account. According to the laws of those times, people of other classes could live in Kuren for no more than six months. Only in 1861 in Cossack settlements were allowed to settle nonresident. Population growth began to take place not only due to natural growth, but also runaways and peasants from the poor provinces of central Russia flocked here.
A particularly noticeable influx of people into Timashevsk began after the abolition of serfdom. Former bonded peasants were able to move to other regions of the country. In addition, the village communities received the right to provide nonresident small land plots for outbuildings. The tsarist government did this in order to quickly settle the richest southern lands. By 1885, according to the Collection of Information about the Caucasus (Volume XVIII), there were already 303 yards and 393 houses in the village, the population of Timashevsk was 2423 inhabitants. Of these, 2210 indigenous people and 110 nonresident people with a settled population, and 103 without a settled population.
The population in Soviet times
Before the war, in 1939, 15, 600 people lived in the village. Officially, the population of Timashevsk in the Krasnodar Territory was first recorded according to the results of the 1959 All-Union Population Census. Then in the Cossack village of Timashevskaya lived 19049 people. A year after receiving the status of a city, 26, 000 residents lived here. The population of the city was gradually growing, mainly due to natural growth and rural residents who came to work at numerous food enterprises. The collapse of the Soviet Union did not affect these growth characteristics until 2000.
