Nevinnomyssk () is a city in Stavropol Krai, Russia, located on both banks of the Kuban River at its confluence with the Bolshoy Zelenchuk River, south of Stavropol.
The city of Nevinnomyssk originated from stanitsa Nevinnomysskaya.
Military historian Vasily about 100 years ago, I found a file from 1784 in the Mozdok archive, from which I learned that "a certain small river flowing into the Kuban was henceforth ordered to be called Innocent".
Stavropol local historian Kolesnikov in his monograph "The Past of the Innocent Cape" (2011) puts forward a version of the origin of the city's name, according to which in 1784 Pavel Potemkin the area was given the name "Innocent Cape" by the prevailing.
In 1787, the Nevinnomyssky Redoubt was built on a high hill near the Nevinka River, which flows into the Kuban River. In 1784, the river was renamed the Nevinnaya River.
According to the first version, the name originated from the death of an innocent girl who was forced to marry someone she did not love.
According to the second version, the name of the river and the cape originated from the death of 70 innocent Russian women, old people, and children. In their memory, the place was named Cape Innocent, and the tributary of the Kuban River was named the Innocent River.
In 1825, by order of General Aleksey Yermolov, commander of the Caucasian Military Corps, a Cossack village of the same name was founded near the fortress of Nevinnaya Mys, where the Bolshoy Zelenchuk River flows into the Kuban River.
The new village became part of the Batalpashinsky Department of the Kuban Cossack Army. After that, the rapid development of the village of Nevinnomysskaya began.
The village received 36,817 acres of land, including 26,847 acres suitable for agricultural activities. In the late 1870s, there were 11 officer's and 1,597 Cossack plots in Nevinnomysskaya. On average, each person had 16.6 acres of land.
On the small village square, there was a village government building, an ataman's house, a store, and watchtowers at the village gates. The village was governed by a regimental commander and a village chief.
In 1849, there were 2,037 inhabitants, of which 1,005 were men and 1,029 were women. The village had an apothecary, a barber shop, a telegraph, and a water supply system. Administratively, the village was divided into twelve quarters.
Until 1861, the influx of non-local residents was insignificant. However, with the abolition of serfdom, the situation changed. In 1876, there were 1,700 non-local residents for every 4,000 Cossacks. The construction of the Vladikavkaz Railway had a significant impact on the village's fate.
The presence of large reserves of agricultural raw materials, the availability of cheap labor, and the proximity of the railway contributed to the rapid economic development of the village of Nevinnomysskaya.
The village of Otradnaya, where the son-in-law of the Ataman of Nevinnomysskaya, I. A. Baranov, began construction of a steam mill. In 1894, it was put into operation, becoming the largest mill in the North Caucasus.
In 1889, a tannery was built by the merchant Lapin. In 1895, the largest wool-processing factory in Russia was built in the village.
The favorable climatic conditions, such as mild winters, plenty of sunshine, and windy weather, as well as the availability of soft water in the Zelenchuk River, the presence of a well-developed sheep farming industry in the region, and the availability of cheap labor, as well as the proximity of the railway, all contributed to the development of the wool-washing industry. Initially, wool was processed manually, using methods such as raft washing and outdoor drying. The soft water from the Zelenchuk River helped to soften and whiten the wool, and the use of detergents was significantly reduced during the washing process.
In 1900, Lapin's ever-expanding wool-washing factory produced goods worth 280,740 rubles. At the beginning of the 20th century, the factory employed approximately 300 workers. Moreover, the factory's equipment was in line with the latest advancements in scientific and technological development.
In 1912, Nevinnomyssk entrepreneurs established a small mechanical factory called "Muravey" based on the principles of a joint-stock company. This factory consisted of a foundry, a turning shop, a blacksmith shop, and a locksmith shop. The plant focused on producing products needed in the local market, parts for agricultural machinery, agricultural tools, and mill equipment.
Handicraft production, such as shoe-making, saddlery, and cooperage, developed in the village. Carpenters, artisans, and glaziers were mostly from other cities. In the 1990s, the village of Nevinnomyssk became a major trading center. Merchants from Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and Warsaw came to the village. The trade turnover at the Nevinnomyssk fairs and bazaars reached several million rubles.
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the village's agriculture achieved significant success. The number of livestock, the production of agricultural products and animal husbandry are growing. New agricultural machinery and equipment are increasingly being used. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village had 57 horse-drawn threshing machines and 160 improved ploughs. 4 In general, the Cossacks of the village harvested a good harvest, especially grain crops, which allowed them to profitably sell some of their products for export abroad and to the industrial regions of Russia. The spread of various forms of cooperation played a major role in the intensification of agriculture in the village.
By 1896, the village had a population of 7,500, indicating a rapid increase in the population of Nevinnomyssk.
The favorable climatic conditions allowed the Cossacks to actively engage in horticulture, viticulture, and gardening, which undoubtedly influenced the dietary patterns of the population in Nevinnomyssk and the Kuban region as a whole. The local population consumed a significant amount of fruits and berries, including garden and wild apples, pears, plums, grapes, blackberries, and more. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, many families began to focus on growing strawberries. Fruits were dried for the winter, and "jams" were increasingly being made from them. Among the Cossacks' drinks, kvass, dried fruit compote, beer, wine, and vodka were prevalent. One indicator of the growth of prosperity was the fact that in the mid-19th century, almost all alcoholic beverages were produced by the Cossacks themselves.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the village's educational system expanded, and new educational institutions were established in addition to the existing parish schools.
In 1901, the Vladikavkaz Railway Board opened a two-year school at the Nevinnomysskaya station, accommodating up to 90 railway workers' , at the confluence of the Bolshoy Zelenchuk river, 55 km south of the regional city center Stavropol. The Nevinnomyssk Canal begins in Nevinnomyssk, which supplies water from the Kuban River to the Bolshoy Egorlyk River.
