Our town was founded in 1586. At first it was a small wooden fortress called Samara. Due to its favourable geographical position the town developed quickly. By the end of the 19th century Samara became one of the main commercial centres on the Volga. In 1935 Samara was named after V.V.Kuibyshev, who proclaimed the Soviet power in our town. During the Great Patriotic War Samara became the second capital of our country. The Soviet government lived and worked here. Many plants and factories from Moscow and western regions of the Soviet Union were evacuated to our town. Now the town is one of the largest in Russia.
