Founded in 1958 .

Soligorsk arose in connection with the discovery and industrial development of potash salt in the area of ​​the villages of Vishnevka, Pokrovka, Kovalev Loza, Teslin, Peschanka.

In May 1958, it was decided to start the construction of a new plant at the Starobinskoe field and put it into operation first in 1963. Construction was announced All-Union shock Komsomol construction. The Komsomol construction organization numbered 1,500 people in its ranks.

On August 10, 1958, a rally was held near the village of иizhevichi, dedicated to the laying of the first symbolic stone of the new city. On a small obelisk there is an inscription: “On 10.08.1958, the city of Novo-Starobinsk was founded here.” Years later, the first monument was moved: in 1968, a stone with an inscription was set up behind the builders' club to mark the 10th anniversary of Soligorsk, dedicated to the solemn meeting on the laying of the city. In 1978, this stone was moved to the Lenin Komsomol Square, opposite the builders club, where a monument was erected in honor of the founding of the city.

The first master plan for the development of Soligorsk was developed by the architects of the institute "Belgosproekt" for 14 - 16 thousand inhabitants. According to the plan, the city consists of three residential areas: western, northern and southern, separated by urban highways.

It all started with the construction in 1958 on the site of the village of Vishnevka, Starobinsky district, Novostobobinsk settlement, which a year later was renamed into the working settlement of Soligorsk.

Since 1959, the northern region began to be built up. The main structural unit of the city adopted microdistrict.

In 1958, on the one side of the new buildings, the quiet, full-flowing river Sluch carried its waters, on the other there was a vast forest. The construction of the city’s streets, and then the reservoir, was carried out on the site of the gradually demolished villages of Vishnevka, Kovaleva Loza, Peschanka, Pokrovka, Krutoy Bereg, Seltso, Teslin.

The name Novo-Starobinsk remains imprinted in the stone and memory of the first builders. In some documents of the Starobinsky district executive committee, the new building was called Novo-Starobinsky, officially the village was not called so. The city documented the name August 8, 1959 - the working village of Soligorsk. On September 18, 1959, by the decision of the Starobinsky district executive committee, Gerasimovich Mikhail Antonovich was approved as the first chairman of the workers 'and village council of workers' deputies. On May 22, 1960, the first elections to the Workers' Council were held.

The Soligorsk under construction was divided into construction blocks, the streets were initially assigned numbers. The historical zone of Soligorsk is the building block number 23, from this place the city turned around. The street can rightly be considered the same age as Soligorsk. It was on it, near the first symbolic stone of the monument, the foundations of the first buildings were laid - one-story dormitories for 50 people each. In April 1959, six hostels were commissioned and settled. On January 15, 1959, the first 16-apartment two-story brick house was laid, and it was already settled in mid-December 1959 . It is located on Stroiteley street, 15.

On May 18, 1959, the Starobinsky district executive committee decided to assign the names to the first streets: Construction - in honor of the builders of the potash plant, the city and Miners - in honor of the pioneers of the underground bowels.

August 17, 1959 street number 17 gave the name Cherry, it is the third street in a residential town under construction. The name of the street was not accidental: the building was conducted on the site of the demolished village Vishnevka. The name did not last long; on January 7, 1960, it was abolished: Vishnevaya Street was a continuation of the new No. 13 street - Stroiteley Street (eastern part). At the same time, the executive committee of the village council of the working village of Soligorsk assigned the name of thirteen streets: street number 1 was named M. Gorky , street number 2 - Lenin Komsomol, street number 7 - K. Zaslonova , street number 12 - Zheleznodorozhnaya. On the map of the city, construction blocks have changed their numbers to the names of Kommunalnaya, Shkolnaya, Gastello , Gulyaeva streets. April 13, 1962 due to the fact that in the territory of Soligorsk there were 2 streets with consonant names "Builders" and "Construction", the latter was renamed Pioneer. Later, new streets appeared in the city of Soligorsk, the old ones were rebuilt, their names changed. During the demolition of cinder-concrete, wooden, frame-filling, precast-panel and adobe houses to preserve the location of the old streets is not possible.
