The city is located at the confluence of the Tolucheevka and Podgornaya rivers (Don basin), 190 km southeast of Voronezh. In the west and south, the large village of Zabrody adjoins the city.
As archaeological excavations show, back in the second millennium BC,
the current territory of the region was inhabited by ancient peoples
engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding. For many centuries, the
territories of the future city served as camps for nomads. Since 1571, a
permanent public watch service has been organized within the current
Kalacheevsky district.
Permanent settlements appeared at the
beginning of the 18th century. They were founded by both free Ukrainian
settlers and Cossacks of the Ostrogozhsky regiment. In 1715, the
Voronezh provincial chancellery gave an order to create a settlement -
the settlement Kalach. The settlement's commercial importance increased
when the railway was built in 1896.
During the Civil War, the
region turned out to be a springboard for fierce battles. In 1919-1924
it was the center of the county.
On July 30, 1928, Kalach became
the center of the newly formed Kalacheevsky district.
The
Kalacheevsky district did not stand aside during the Great Patriotic
War. More than 15 thousand people fought on various fronts. More than 9
thousand natives of the city did not return from the battlefield. 17
Kalacheevites were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. In the
vicinity of the city, defensive battles took place in July 1942 (Battle
of Stalingrad).
On January 10, 1945, the village of Kalach was
transformed into a city of regional subordination by the Decree of the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.
In peacetime, 5
workers of the region were awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor.
In recent years, the region's economy has been strengthened, crop yields
have increased, the number of livestock has increased, and the technical
equipment of collective farms has improved. In 1960, the largest
elevator in the region received its first grain. In the 1970-1980s,
large enterprises were put into operation in the suburbs of Kalach: a
sugar and cheese factory, a meat processing plant, electrical networks,
and transgas.
Kalach in our time is a modern city with a
developed social infrastructure, consisting of many educational,
cultural and medical institutions. There are more than a hundred
historical, cultural and architectural monuments in the area.
The city's climate is temperate continental, with relatively cold winters and hot, dry summers.
