History
The town's history dates back to 1908, when by Nicholas II's decree a military plant was established in the area, where it was given the name Ivashchenkovo. In 1929, the settlement was renamed Chapayevsk after the 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. According to Russian media, at least 34 people were injured in the explosions that originated in the town's ammunition storage facilities.
