History
Before the arrival of the French army, the area of Kamyshovaya Bay was completely uninhabited, but after itself the conquerors left separate buildings and defensive redoubts. They came in handy in 1942 during the defense of Sevastopol.
For a long time the reed bay was not even considered a suburb of Sevastopol. In 1902, the aeronautical park of the Black Sea Fleet was located here. At the airport, they trained sea pilots, tested marine aircraft, and tried to adapt even military balloons to military operations.
During the Great Patriotic War, the bay harbored the battleship “Tashkent”, which took several thousand wounded soldiers and civilians out of the city, as well as F. Roubaud’s unique panorama painting “The Defense of Sevastopol”.
In the postwar years, a village of fishermen appeared in Kamyshovaya, united in 1929 into a fishing collective farm. The number of inhabitants of the settlement did not exceed 12 thousand people.
Over time, the village grew and turned into a large fishing port with ship repair yards and a cannery. Now there is also an oil-loading enterprise, a cement plant, treatment facilities and a powerful boiler house.
By the 80s, the village turned into a full-fledged Sevastopol microdistrict, for which the previous name was fixed.
