History
It was founded in 1672 by the Don Cossacks as Ust-Tsimla (Усть-Цимла). Until 1950, it was known as the stanitsa of Tsimlyanskaya (Цимля́нская). In 1950–1952, the stanitsa was resettled in the new location due to the construction of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir and the Tsimlyansk Hydroelectric Station. It was granted town status in 1961.
