History
Donskoye, a rural locality located in Stavropol Krai, Russia was founded in 1777 on the site of the Donskaya fortress, which was part of the Azov-Mozdok military defense line.[6]
Foundation and early history: The Village of Donskaya
The village of Donskaya was founded in 1777 and was named after the Donskaya fortress. The Astrakhan governor-General I. V. Yakobi received a warrant from Prince Potemkin to call the village “Donskaya”. In 1777, the Khoper Cossacks were transferred to the village from the Don. From 1801, peasants and working people from the Orel, Kursk, Voronezh, Kaluga, Ryazan, Kharkiv, and Chernigov provinces were settled at the fortress. The local museum has several historical artifacts, including a safe of the Khoper regiment and a blueprint of the Donskaya fortress plan.
19th century: Relocation and Population Growth
In 1826, the village of Donskaya was relocated to the border of the Caucasian region and in its place, a new village was formed in 1827. By 1839, the population of the village had grown to over 1,000 people, with the majority of residents professing the Orthodox faith. There was also a community of Old Believers. In 1841, the construction of the Michael-Arkhangelsk stone church was finally completed, although it was later demolished in 1935. The population of the village continued to grow and by 1869 it had reached over 5,000 people.
