Maysky (Russian: Ма́йский; Kabardian: Майскэ) is a town and the administrative center of Maysky District of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Russia, located 40km (30miles) northeast of Nalchik, the capital of the republic. Population:
A Russian military outpost of Prishib was founded in 1824.[1] It was re-organized as the stanitsa of Prishibskaya in 1829.[1] In 1875, Kotlyarevskaya railway station was built 3km (02miles) south of the stanitsa, and a settlement formed around it in 1888. In 1920, that settlement was renamed Prishibsky, in 1925—Maysky.[1] In 1959, the settlement and the stanitsa were merged into the urban-type settlement of Maysky, which was granted town status in 1965.[1]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Maysky serves as the administrative center of Maysky District, to which it is directly subordinated.[2] As a municipal division, the town of Maysky, together with five rural localities, is incorporated within Maysky Municipal District as Maysky Urban Settlement.[3]
