In the village is located the same name railway station, Half-day direction Sverdlovsk - Chelyabinsk ^[2] . The soil is clay and stony ^[3] .

The origin of the name of the village can be explained by the location when “half a day has passed, and the sun is just on the main street” ^[2] . But most likely the settlement was named after the river - Poldnevskaya, and the river was named so because it flows from the noon, that is, from the south side ^[3] .

The settlement was founded in 1735 as a wooden fortress to protect against Bashkir raids on the nearby state-owned factories: Polevsky and Seversky. For a long time it was the southernmost border fortress in the Middle Urals ^[2] . But after the strengthening of Russian influence in Bashkiria, it loses its defensive functions, turning into an ordinary settlement. Since the 1760s, residents have been assigned to the Polevsky plant . Residents of the village are former artisan districts of the Sysertsky factories, the main occupation of which was smoky and mine prospecting work ^[3] .

In the vicinity mined chrome iron ore, gold, platinum, gems (chrysolites). Engaged in charcoal firing and pottery ^[2] .

Under Soviet rule, limestone was mined for the Kama Pulp and Paper Mill , there was a large timber industry farm, livestock farms of the third branch of the Seversky state farm. In 1928, one of the first rural clubs in the Middle Urals was built ^[2] .

The stone one-throne church was founded on September 7, 1844, under the blessed letter of Arkady, Archbishop of Perm and Verkhotursky, and consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas, Archbishop of Mirliki on January 29, 1856 with the blessing of His Grace Jonah. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church had a four-part iconostasis, carpentry work, and a carved gilt lattice above the second headquarters. In the church there was a locally revered icon of St. Nicholas, painted on a blackboard and lined with silver gilded robes. Clergy lived in two wooden houses belonging to the church ^[3] . The church was closed in 1938, and in Soviet times a store was located in the building ^[2] .

In 1872 the Zemstvo elementary school was opened ^[2] , but in 1884 the school was closed due to the inconvenience of the premises. In 1887, with the construction of a new convenient building, the Zemstvo school was reopened ^[3] .
