Pokhvistnevo

Pokhvistnevo extends along the left bank of the Bolshoy Kinel River, positioned 159 kilometers northeast of Samara, near the Orenburg Oblast border point.

The settlement emerged in 1888 during the construction of the Samara-Ufa railroad line, receiving official town status in 1947 following regional industrial development.

The local population of 28,169 residents maintains connections to both urban activities and traditional rural practices through regular community gatherings and seasonal celebrations.

The town functions as an administrative center with developed railway infrastructure, supporting transportation links between Samara Oblast and neighboring regions.

The discovery of oil deposits in 1939 transformed this railway settlement into an industrial center, establishing its position in the regional energy sector.
