Article History

Kropotkin, city, Krasnodar kray (territory), western Russia, on the Kuban River. Founded in the 19th century as Romanovsky Khutor, it was renamed in 1921 for the geographer and revolutionary anarchist P.A. Kropotkin. It became a town in 1921 and until 1962 was the centre of the Kavkazsky rayon (“sector”) of the kray. At the end of the 19th century, it grew as a transport centre because of its location at the site where the rail line from Rostov-na-Donu to Baku (Azerbaijan) crosses the Kuban. Transport remains important, and there is also an agricultural processing industry. Pop. (2005 est.) 79,630.
