Krasnodar is located in the southern part of the East European Plain on the Kuban lowland, 1350 km south of Moscow. It is located almost in the center of the Krasnodar Territory, in the southern part of the Kuban Plain, in the valley of the Kuban River (on the right, high bank), that is, geomorphologically - on the West Kuban alluvial and proluvial plain, on the second floodplain terrace. The relief of Krasnodar is calm, even, has a flat slope to the north-west. Height above sea level ranges from 19 to 32 meters. The valley of the Kuban River, near the city, separates the Kuban and Zakuban plains. The latter has an elevated, gently sloping relief and is dissected by numerous left-bank channels of the Kuban. The Kuban River itself, skirting the city from the south and southwest, forms a wide (up to 15 km) trapezoidal shape in this place; the right bank is steep and high (up to 12 m), the left bank is low and gentle. The width of the channel of the Kuban within the city is about 150 meters, the depth is from 1.5 to 6.5 m.

On June 30, 1792, the Black Sea Cossack army was issued by Catherine II a Letter of Complaint, according to which the Kuban land was transferred to the Cossacks for eternal possession, bounded by the Kuban River and the Sea of Azov, and from the east by a line from the mouth of the Laba to the Yeysk town.

In early June 1793, Z. Chepega arrived with the Cossacks in the tract Karasunsky Kut (now Krasnodar, Stavropolskaya St., 2, "Kubanenergo").

This is the first Russian building in the city. On August 15, 1793, Z. Chepega assembled the Malaya Rada and approved the place he had chosen for the military city.

In June 1794, ensign Sambulov, a land surveyor, drew up a plan for the Karasunsky Kut tract. In the office of the Tauride Governor, quarters of the future city were plotted on the plan. The breakdown of the city into quarters on the ground was carried out by marking the streets with furrows.

Work began on September 18, 1794. At that time, there were 9 houses in the city, 154 dugouts and 75 “huts on the version”. In the first half of 1795, mass building of the city began.[source]

Contemporary Krasnodar is an industrial center. About 50,000 people work at 127 large and medium-sized, as well as numerous small industrial enterprises, or over 11 percent of all those employed in the city's economy. The leading place in the structure of industry is occupied by the food, machine-building, metal-working and light industries. The industry of the city is also represented by enterprises of electric power industry, building materials, chemistry and petrochemistry, microbiology and others.

The municipal formation of the city of Krasnodar is a major transport hub, which includes all types of transport: air, rail, river, bus, city electric transport (tram, trolley bus). Regular and charter flights to the cities of Russia, the CIS, and far-abroad countries are carried out from the city's airport. 3 railway stations operate with full load, through which about 60 transit trains pass per day (in summer, their number more than doubles). The M4 Don federal highway passes through Krasnodar, connecting the city with the Azov-Black Sea coast and the Rostov Region, there is an airport and a river port.
