History
Stavropol was founded as a fortress in 1737 by the Russian statesman Vasily Tatishchev, partially to house ethnic Kalmyks, who had converted to Russian Orthodoxy. It was often informally referred to as Stavropol-on-Volga to distinguish it from Stavropol, a larger city in southwest Russia, although Stavropol-on-Volga was never its official name.
The construction of the Kuybyshev Dam and Hydroelectric Station on the Volga River in the 1950s created the Kuybyshev Reservoir, which flooded the existing location of the city, and it was completely rebuilt on a new site.
In 1964, the city was chosen as the location of the new VAZ (now AvtoVAZ) automobile plant: a joint venture between Fiat and the Soviet government. It was then renamed Tolyatti after Palmiro Togliatti, the longest-serving secretary of the Italian Communist Party, who had been instrumental in setting up the venture with Fiat and had died in August of that year in Yalta. Much of the modern city was constructed in the 1960s to house the workers of the factory, and as of 2023 AvtoVAZ dominates the economy of the city.
