The prehistory of the city dates back to the 18th
century, when Catherine the Great granted the Orlov Counts, in
gratitude for their help in accessing the throne, extensive Volga
lands. One of the count's estates is located on the site of a modern
city in the area of the future Privolzhskaya biofactory. At the
same time, the villages of Russian, Mordovian and Chuvash Lipyagi
were founded, which later became part of Novokuibyshevsk.
After the construction of the Samara-Zlatoust railway, Lipyagi
station appears. In 1904, several mills operated in the area of
the station, and a brick factory was founded. During the civil war
at the beginning of the 20th century, bloody battles between the
Bolsheviks and the White Czechs took place in the Lipyagi region. In
1932, near the station, Privolzhskaya Biofactory No. 6 began to
work, which for many years produced biological products for the
treatment and prevention of diseases of agricultural livestock.
In 1946, shortly after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the
construction of the country's largest oil refinery at that time
began near the Lipägi station. Initially, it was assumed that a
settlement of oil refiners with a population of about 14 thousand
people would be located next to it. However, the location turned out
to be so advantageous that it was decided to develop the village and
create a large industrial center. In September 1951, the first units
of the refinery were put into operation, and on February 22, 1952,
by the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR,
the r.p. Novo-Kuibyshevsky was transformed into the city of
Novokuibyshevsk.
In 1951, Novokuybyshevsk CHPP-1 (NkTEC-1)
was built to provide the refinery and a residential settlement with
electric and thermal energy, which became one of the first stations
in the country with high-pressure equipment with steam parameters of
90 atm. and 500 ° C. In 1957, the first large chemical enterprise of
the Kuibyshev region was launched - the Kuibyshev Synthetic Alcohol
Plant (KZSS, now part of PJSC Rosneft), which for many years was one
of the leading producers of synthetic ethyl alcohol and phenol in
the USSR and Russia. In connection with the growing demand for
energy supply in 1962, NkTETs-2 was launched. In 1965, the
Novokuybyshevsk Petrochemical Plant (now part of PJSC Rosneft)
was founded, the largest producer of monomers for synthetic rubber
in Europe.
In 1992, the Novokuybyshevsk line included the
settlements of the Mayak village council (Mayak settlement) with a
population of 2.2 thousand people. In 2006, the Granny residential
area, which previously belonged to Samara, was added to the city.
Territory: within the city limits is 86 km², the area of the urban
district is 264.4 km², including residential area - 1120 hectares.
Located on the left bank of the Volga (6 km from the river), 5 km
