Shcherbinovka

Shcherbinovka lies in the Yeya country near the northeastern shore of the Sea of Azov. In 1794 the Shcherbinovsky kuren was among the Black Sea Cossack communities allotted land in the Kuban. Their arrival followed the annexation of the region by Russia and the establishment of posts and settlements along its frontier. Nearby fisheries, grasslands and the Yeya estuary formed the setting in which the Cossacks made new homes after moving from their earlier lands.
