Stavropol Krai, Administrative division in North Caucasus, Russia.

The territory extends across the North Caucasus region with 26 districts, featuring flat steppes in the north and mountainous areas in the south.

The region received its current status as Stavropol Krai in 1943, after previously being part of the North Caucasus Krai established in 1924.

The population of 2.9 million includes Russians, Armenians, Dargins, Greeks, and Nogais, forming a diverse ethnic composition throughout the districts.

The region contains multiple mineral water springs and treatment facilities in cities like Kislovodsk, Yessentuki, and Zheleznovodsk for medical purposes.

Mikhail Gorbachev served as First Secretary of the Stavropol Krai Communist Party from 1970 to 1978 before becoming leader of the Soviet Union.
