The town's history dates back to 1909 when by Nicholas II's decree a military plant was established in the area.[citation needed] In 1929, the settlement was renamed Chapayevsk after the celebrated Red Army commander Vasily Chapayev. The town served as a base for secret military production, hosting four such factories until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

On June 18, 2013, several strong explosions rocked the town and several villages around; 5,000 people were evacuated.[citation needed] According to Russian media, at least 34 people where injured in the explosions that originated in the town's ammunition storage facilities.[citation needed]

Since 1991, the birthrate in the city decreased by 40%. In the women's breast milk dioxin was found at 400 times above the normal level.
