History
The city of Nevinnomyssk originated from stanitsa Nevinnomysskaya.
Military historian Vasily about 100 years ago, I found a file from 1784 in the Mozdok archive, from which I learned that "a certain small river flowing into the Kuban was henceforth ordered to be called Innocent".
Stavropol local historian Kolesnikov in his monograph "The Past of the Innocent Cape" (2011) puts forward a version of the origin of the city's name, according to which in 1784 Pavel Potemkin the area was given the name "Innocent Cape" by the prevailing.
In 1787, the Nevinnomyssky Redoubt was built on a high hill near the Nevinka River, which flows into the Kuban River. In 1784, the river was renamed the Nevinnaya River.
According to the first version, the name originated from the death of an innocent girl who was forced to marry someone she did not love.
According to the second version, the name of the river and the cape originated from the death of 70 innocent Russian women, old people, and children. In their memory, the place was named Cape Innocent, and the tributary of the Kuban River was named the Innocent River.
In 1825, by order of General Aleksey Yermolov, commander of the Caucasian Military Corps, a Cossack village of the same name was founded near the fortress of Nevinnaya Mys, where the Bolshoy Zelenchuk River flows into the Kuban River.
