The city of Rostov-on-Don is one of the millionaire cities in Russia. As a rule, the number of large cities in Russia is directly related to their geographical location, which determined further political and economic development.

For Rostov-on-Don, the key moment was the foundation in its place in 1749 Temernitsky Customs Decree of Queen Elizabeth Petrovna. Through this customs post there was trade with Turkey, and goods and cargo were transported by water.

Since there were raids on the border area with Turkey in the early 60s of the 18th century, by the decree of Catherine II, the fortress of St. Dmitry of Rostov was built here. At the end of the 18th century, having lost its military significance, the fortress was transformed into a county town. Rostov-on-Don received its current name in 1806.

The main source of economic development of Rostov-on-Don until the beginning of the 20th century was trade, since the city itself has access to three large seas - the Caspian, Black and Azov. Also, being at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Rostov has routes to the Mediterranean, the Caucasus and the Middle East.

The largest enterprises of Rostov and the Rostov region

Active construction of industrial enterprises in Rostov began with the advent of Soviet power. One of the first large enterprises was the Rostselmash plant, which manufactured machines, combines and other equipment for the agricultural industry.

The Great Patriotic War caused great damage to the city, during which almost all industrial enterprises were destroyed and Rostov-on-Don was literally restored from ruins. But, despite this, a large number of architectural and historical monuments have been preserved and restored here.
