A little history
Although the Greek colony of Nikopolis appeared in these places in ancient times, the history of modern Novomikhailovsky began in 1864 with the fortified Cossack post of the Shapsut coastal battalion. Over time, the post turned into a prosperous Cossack village, and then into a village. Novomikhailovsky received a new impetus for development in the mid-1960s, when the All-Russian camp “Orlyonok” opened next to it. The proximity to a popular children's health resort has significantly increased the resort attractiveness of the village itself, especially among those who are counting on a relaxing budget holiday.
