History

A Russian military outpost of Prishib was founded in 1824.[2] It was re-organized as the stanitsa of Prishibskaya in 1829.[2] In 1875, Kotlyarevskaya railway station was built 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) south of the stanitsa, and a settlement formed around it in 1888.^{[citation needed]} In 1920, that settlement was renamed Prishibsky, in 1925—Maysky.[2] In 1959, the settlement and the stanitsa were merged into the urban-type settlement of Maysky, which was granted town status in 1965.[2]
