The land occupied by
Novocheboksarsk has an ancient history. In this area, archaeologists
have discovered two sites of ancient people dating back to the Stone
Age (13.5 thousand years BC). The first camp is located along the
left bank of the river. Tsivil - former s. Yandashevo (now within
the city limits), the second - above the mouth of the river. Tsivil
on the banks of the Volga (Ivanovo village). Mounds of the Bronze
Age are found in the villages of Yurakovo, Bannovo (now within the
boundaries of Novocheboksarsk). The settlement of the Bronze Age was
near the village. Yandashevo.
According to archaeological
data, along the river. Big Tsivil Chuvash villages began to appear
from the 10th century. - the time of the formation of the Volga
Bulgaria. In the XIII-XIV centuries. there was a continuous
settlement of the basin of the Big and Small Civilians by the
Bulgaro-Chuvashes.
The construction of Novocheboksarsk began
in 1960 in connection with the construction of a chemical plant.
With the growth of the city, the neighboring villages were included
in it - Bannovo, Elnikovo, Yandashevo, Anatkasy, Tsygankasy,
Ivanovo, Chedino, Yurakovo and a number of others. November 18, 1960

name the city Ilyichevsk, but on August 11, 1965, the Presidium of
the Supreme Soviet of the Chuvash ASSR adopted a resolution “On the
formation of the city of Novocheboksarsk in the Chuvash ASSR”. On
September 27, 1965, on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of
the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, Novocheboksarsk received the status
of a city. On December 27, 1971, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet
of the RSFSR issued a decree “On the classification of the city of
Novocheboksarsk in the Chuvash ASSR to the category of cities of
republican (CASSR) subordination)”.
The city was built and
expanded at a very fast pace. Already in 1978, a rally was held
dedicated to the commissioning of the first million square meters of
housing, five years later, on October 29, 1983, a hundred thousandth
resident was born.
On March 2, 2008, a referendum was held to
unite the cities of Cheboksary and Novocheboksarsk into one urban
district. Most Novocheboksary residents voted against the
unification.
Located 17 km from the capital of the Chuvash Republic - Cheboksary,
on the right bank of the Volga River. It has an advantageous transport
and geographical position, since the dam of the Cheboksary hydroelectric
power station also serves as a road bridge (commissioned on July 29,
1994) providing communication with Yoshkar-Ola, Kazan and other cities
in the northern part of the Volga-Vyatka region. The city has its own
river port, which carries out cargo transportation. The freight railway
turned Novocheboksarsk into one of the major economic centers on the
Volga.

is divided into three residential areas: East, South, West. They have 18
districts.
