History
It was founded in 1960 when a trend of building satellite cities started. Designed by architects from Leningrad, the city was initially called Sputnik (Russian: Спутник). Starting from relatively undeveloped land, the city grew to absorbed surrounding villages, such as Yelnikovo, Urakovo, Yandashevo, Anatkasy, and Tsygankasy. The first foundation was laid by a team of concrete workers on 18 November 1960. The first street in the city was opened on 12 July 1962, which included a school, a club, a library, a bathhouse, a restaurant, a market, and a transportation center. On
On 11 August 1965, the government of the Chuvash ASSR adopted a resolution giving administrative status to the city, now known as Novocheboksarsk. The resolution resulted in the city administratively absorbing the nearby villages of Bannovo, Ivanovo, Oldeyevo, Tenekassy, Chyodino, and Yandashevo.
On 27 December 1971 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR issued the Decree "On Granting the City of Novocheboksarsk of the Chuvash ASSR the Status of a City Under Republic Jurisdiction", giving Novocheboksarsk city status.
The city grew at a rapid rate, and on 29 October 1983 it passed 100,000 inhabitants.
In 1985, a monument was erected on Vinokurova Street to I. S. Semenovu, who fought to established Soviet power in Chuvashia.
