Geography

The city is located in the valley of the Kuma River, about 130 km southeast of Stavropol. The city has the largest airport in the south of Russia, connecting the Caucasian Mineralnye Vody region with other regions of Russia, the junction station of the North Caucasian railway on the Armavir-Prokhladnaya line with a branch to Kislovodsk, the M-29 Caucasus federal highway. From here you can get to the resort towns of Zheleznovodsk, Pyatigorsk, Essentuki, Kislovodsk, as well as to the city of Lermontov.

The city stands (at an altitude of ? 330-350 m above sea level; 300 m - in Zavokzalie, in the Kuma region) at the foot of the picturesque Zmeyka Mountain, 994 m above sea level. Most of the mountain is covered with Beshtaugor forest, and part of the city is a formidable view of rocks and quarries connected by a serpentine of old roads. In the middle of the last century, building rock was actively developed here and a stone processing plant was operating. In good weather, the peaks of Elbrus are visible from the city, which is 91 km in a straight line. From the city you can go to it by sightseeing bus, by road this distance will increase to 250 km.

The climate of the city is relatively dry, moist air masses from the Black Sea do not reach here, they are delayed by the Main Caucasian Range. The climate of the city of Mineralnye Vody is characterized by contrast - hot, dry summers, frosty and rainy winters. Spring and summer are clearly expressed. The coldest months are January and February, the warmest are July and August. Spring starts at the end of February.

Summer starts in mid-May. It is warm and long (about 140 days). Autumn begins in late September - early October. The best time of the year for recreation and travel is autumn. It is sunny, dry, rich in fruits and bright colors of landscapes. Precipitation on the territory of the city falls extremely unevenly over the seasons of the year and ranges from 300 mm to 600 mm per year.

The city of Mineralnye Vody is located mainly in the steppe zone. The plains here have long been mastered, plowed up and built up, virgin areas with silvery feather grass have survived only in small fragments along the roadsides. Here, in addition to feather grass, fescue, thin-legged, couch grass grow on soils, speedwell turns blue in spring, gray leaves of white-tomented dubrovnik, yellow baskets of elecampane, prickly rosettes of zopnik appear in summer. At the foot of the mountain on saline soils, Crimean wormwood, creeping kochia and kermek are abundant. The fauna of the territory is significantly reduced and changed by man. In the steppe areas, you can occasionally see a hare, a jerboa, a gray hamster, a hedgehog, a steppe ferret. Vole mice live here. The mounds of the earth are lined up in a row, which indicates the underground work of the common mole rat. And also there are an eagle, a hawk, an owl and an owl.

The city owes its birth to the construction of the Rostov-Vladikavkaz railway. Construction was completed in 1875. The junction station with a branch to Kislovodsk was named "Sultanovskaya", since it was located on the lands that belonged to the former Crimean Sultan Girey. At that time, about 500 workers lived in the right-of-way (the territory owned by the joint-stock company of the railway, limited by a concrete wall), serving the local locomotive depot, station and other railway enterprises. And nearby, on the lands of the Sultan Dzhanbek-Girey, with his consent, new settlers soon settled. These were mainly handicraftsmen and merchants who supplied their products and goods to the railway workers. The settlers petitioned the authorities to form a settlement. In 1878, the settlement received a legal status and the name "Sultanovsky".

In 1929-1930, enterprises for the extraction and processing of non-metallic materials appeared - the Zmeyka stone crushing plant and the Beshtaunit mine. After the construction of the airport in 1925, the city became an important point on the main air routes of the USSR. In 1924, the Mineralovodsky district was formed by the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.

The Holy Monk Theodosius of the Caucasus (1841-1948) lived in Mineralnye Vody from 1931 to 1948, after returning from the Solovetsky Islands, he accepted the feat of foolishness. In recent years, he lived with novices in a small damp house with low ceilings. In December 1994, in the Stavropol diocesan administration, the diocesan council raised the question of studying the life of Hieroschemamonk Theodosius and of the people's veneration of him as a saint of God. The relics of the Holy Reverend Theodosius of the Caucasus are in the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos.

In the first days of the Great Patriotic War, 18 thousand mineral water workers went to the front. Their jobs were taken by women and children. Some enterprises switched to the production of military products. 6,269 residents of the city were awarded orders and medals, 12 people were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. 7 thousand mineral water workers died in the war.

On the evening of August 8, 1942, the 40th German tank corps of the 1st tank army of Baron Leo-Geir von Schweppenburg approached the northern bank of the Kuma River, where he was met by the defenders of the city - cadets of the Novocherkassk cavalry school. On August 10, the city was occupied by the troops of Nazi Germany. The railway station "Mineralnye Vody" was an extremely important facility, through it went the provision of German troops advancing on Vladikavkaz and Baku. The German commandant's office was located in the building of the railway station, where interrogations were conducted. Outside the city, near the glass factory, there was a deep anti-tank ditch, in which massacres of civilians were carried out daily. More than 10 thousand people from all Caucasian Mineralnye Vody were killed and buried there.

On January 11, 1943, a Soviet tank battalion under the command of Captain Petrov entered the city along the railway line from Prokhladny, advancing in the direction of the railway station, where the main enemy forces were concentrated. At the same time, rifle units entered the city. Soviet troops blocked several trains with German equipment, uniforms and food at the station. On the street "50 years of October" there is a memorial to tankers with a T-34-85 tank.

After the war, Mineralnye Vody became one of the largest cities in the Stavropol Territory.

On June 5, 1964, the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR decided to restrict the registration of citizens in the resort cities of Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk, Zheleznovodsk, Essentuki, Mineralnye Vody and adjacent settlements in the Stavropol Territory.

The beautiful resort town of Mineralnye Vody is located in the southeast of the Stavropol Territory, famous for its clean air, picturesque nature, magnificent parks and unique sights. The name of the city was due to the proximity to the deposit of the Caucasian mineral waters, although there are no sources in the city itself.

Most tourists come to the Stavropol Territory to improve their health, relax in the mountains and see local attractions.

Location

The city is located in the valley of the Kuma River, 172 km south of Stavropol. The city of Mineralnye Vody in the Stavropol Territory is located at the foot of Mount Zmeika, which is mainly occupied by the Beshtaugorsky forest, and from the side of the city it is a cluster of rocks and quarries that are connected by a serpentine of roads.

In the second half of the 19th century, the construction of the Rostov-Vladikavkaz railway was completed. In 1875, the first trains were launched. The station "Sultanovskaya" was built on the site where the railway tracks go towards Kislovodsk. It got its name in honor of Sultan Giray, who allowed him to take part of his land for the resettlement of workers who served the transport sector. At that time there were about 500 of them.

Every year the population of this settlement increased. Craftsmen began to come here, who made and sold their goods. So the village of Sultanovsky arose, named so in 1878. A glass factory began operating on its territory in 1898. Naturally, this led to further population growth and expansion of the area of ​​the village.

In 1906, it was renamed, calling Illarionovsky, in honor of Illarion Vorontsov-Dashkov, the Caucasian governor.

In 1922, the new authorities decided that the railway station, as well as the nearby village, should become one administrative unit. So on the map of the young republic a city with the name Mineralnye Vody appeared. As before, it remained the most important point of transport infrastructure in the south of our country.

Two years later, a decree was issued on the formation of the Mineralnye Vody region. The importance of the city increased even more in 1925, when an airport was built nearby. Over time, industry developed - in the late 1920s and early 1930s, industrial enterprises were opened for the extraction of non-metallic materials and their further processing by crushing.

At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, 18 thousand citizens, including volunteers, went to the front. Some city enterprises began to produce products for military orders. Women, old people and teenagers worked for them. In August 1942, the city was occupied by the Nazis, and the commandant's office was located in the station building. The transport hub played an important role in supplying the German units that were rushing to Vladikavkaz and Baku.

During the five months of occupation, the most important economic facilities, a depot and a station were destroyed in the city. Jews from all the resort towns of the Caucasus Mineral Waters were brought to Mineralnye Vody of the Stavropol Territory. The surroundings of the glass factory became the site of mass executions. The bodies of the dead were thrown into an anti-tank ditch. In total, more than 10 thousand people were killed.

The city was liberated in January 1943. More than 7 thousand residents of the city did not return from the war, more than 6 thousand people were awarded, 12 citizens were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Immediately after the liberation, Mineralnye Vody in the Stavropol Territory began to be restored, but it was possible to fully recover from the huge damage and begin to massively build housing and expand communications in the second half of the 50s. At the railway station, the building of the new station appeared in 1955.

The development of the city allowed him to become one of the largest Mineralnye Vody in the Stavropol Territory. The city met the beginning of the 80s with a well-groomed and well-maintained - active construction of multi-storey buildings, including high-rise residential buildings, was unfolding. The development of a mining quarry, which lasted more than half a century, was completed in 1984, transport communications continued to develop - a new highway was built between Mineralnye Vody of the Stavropol Territory and Kislovodsk.

Modern city

Today, Mineralnye Vody is still the largest city in the Stavropol Territory, an important transport hub. It occupies an area of ​​51.6 sq. km. The population has grown to 76 thousand inhabitants. Telephone code: +7 87922, index of Mineralnye Vody of the Stavropol Territory - 357200.
