Kamyshin, Historical river city in Volgograd Oblast, Russia

The city stands on the right bank of the Volgograd Reservoir at the Volga River, where the Kamyshinka River joins the main waterway.

Peter the Great established a fort named Petrovsk in 1697 to protect workers building a canal between the Volga and Don rivers.

The Regional Museum of Kamyshin contains exhibits about local traditions, industrial developments, and the agricultural heritage of the Volga region.

The city maintains a network of public transportation services, connecting residential areas to industrial zones and the central business district.

The area produces large quantities of watermelons, leading to the recognition of Kamyshin as Russia's primary watermelon cultivation center.
