History
[edit | edit source]Founding and early history
[edit | edit source] |
Neu Samara was founded by Mennonite settlers of Plautdietsch language, culture and ancestry in 1891-92 who came from the Molotschna mother colony on the Sea of Azov in Russian Empire. Initially twelve villages were founded: Kamenetz, Pleschanowo, Krassikowo, Kaltan, Lugowsk, Podolsk, Donskoj, Dolinsk, Jugowka, Klinok, Kuterlja, Bogomasowo. About 500 families totaling 2,600 individuals made up the initial settlement. Later three additional villages were formed: Annenskoje, Wladimirowka and Ischalka. In the 1950s Annenskoje, Kamenetz and Wladimirowka were dissolved.
