History
The town occupies the territories of former villages of Otvazhnoye (Отва́жное, known since 1840) and Morkvashi (Моркваши, known since 1647). The work settlement of Otvazhny (Отва́жный) was built here to develop the oil deposits. In 1949, it was merged with the villages and renamed Zhigulevsk. It was granted town status in 1952.
