History

In 1803 Tsar Alexander I of Russia ordered the construction of the military station which became Kislovodsk.^{[citation needed]} The site took its name from the many mineral springs around the city. The settlement gained town status in 1903.^{[citation needed]}

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kislovodsk as a fashionable spa attracted many musicians, artists, and members of the Russian aristocracy. Several of the events in Mikhail Lermontov's 1840 novel A Hero of Our Time take place in Kislovodsk.

Archaeology

Numerous ancient settlements of the Koban culture (ca. 1100 to 400 BC) are found in the Kislovodsk city and its surroundings.[16] They include the sites of Industria I, Sultan-gora I, Berezovka I, Berezovka II, Berezovka III, Berezovka IV, etc.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with seven rural localities, incorporated as the city of krai significance of Kislovodsk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the city of krai significance of Kislovodsk is incorporated as Kislovodsk Urban Okrug.[7]

Notable people

The most famous native of Kislovodsk was Nobel Prize winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008). A museum was planned in the house he was born. Renovations were to begin in 2011. Nikolai Yaroshenko's (1846-1898) memorial house is open to the public.

The notable Ukrainian historian Mykhailo Hrushevskyi (1866-1934) died when on exile to Kislovodsk under circumstances which remain mysterious and controversial.
