Story

The history of the city of Frolovo began with X. Lyzhinsky - it was under this name that the settlement that later became x was first mentioned in 1859. Frolovsky. At that time, the population of the settlement was 236 people and there were 22 households. The moment of the founding of the Cossack farm, from which the city of Frolovo was later formed, is not precisely indicated anywhere.

The description of the region on the Don from 1791 contains an indication that livestock breeding and farming were carried out on the Archedin banks, and mills and settlements were built. The Cossack farm was located in the depths of the Don steppes, and life there flowed slowly, but everything began to change in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1870, during the construction of the Gryazi-Tsaritsyn railway line, a station called “Archeda” arose here, near the settlement. At the end of the 19th century, the name Frolovo was already found in some publications. After this, the farm began to grow. In 1888, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary was erected on it, at which the parish school began operating. In 1893 there were two such schools. And at the beginning of the 20th century, a railway school was opened - the children of railway workers studied here. Since 1910, a higher primary school has been operating.

In 1914, there were already 3,500 residents in Frolovo, the number of households increased to 800. The largest number of local residents were Cossacks - about 2,000 people. There were also peasants living here on temporary or permanent basis. About a hundred nobles, members of the clergy and townsfolk also lived in the settlement. 279 people served at Archeda station.

During the Civil War x. Frolov changed hands several times from one opposing side to the other. In 1923, the center of the Kremen volost was located in Frolovo. In 1926, the number of residents increased to 9842. In the summer of 1928, the Frolovsky district was formed, after which the farm acquired the status of a regional center. And in 1936, a decree was issued to transform the Frolovo farm into a city, leaving the usual name.

In 1925, a rather significant event took place for Frolovo - a large group of Czechoslovaks came here, some of them opened workshops: a mechanical workshop (including a foundry), a shoe shop, and a leather workshop. This is how an emigrant artel from Czechoslovakia was formed. In 1932, a small plant for the production of rolled metal was opened.

In pre-revolutionary times, there were only a few medical workers on the farm, and in the 20-30s. A couple of hospitals were already operating successfully in Frolovo – central and railway. Before the outbreak of World War II, a medical school began operating. The first issue of the local newspaper was published in 1930, and in 1938 its name changed. This publication is the oldest of the local ones, it is still published to this day, only over the course of 40 years it has once again acquired a new name, and is now called “Forward”.

During the war with the Nazi invaders, Archeda was a significant object from a tactical point of view - trains with soldiers and equipment passed through here to the besieged city. From mid-1942 to early 1943, German bombers carried out 62 raids on Frolovo, dropping about 1,300 bombs, killing more than 600 civilians and wounding more than 400 people. The bombing destroyed 737 residential buildings, a train station, a post office and a school.

In March 1943, the local railway junction received the first of the trains with Stalingrad orphans. By March 1944, Frolov residents accepted 158 children left without parents into their families. In 1943, nearby, in the local forestry enterprise, an orphanage was formed for the children of soldiers who died at the front. Orphans were brought here not only from Stalingrad, but also from other Russian cities.
