On the left bank of the Salgir, in the Chokurcha cave, archaeologists discovered the site of the most ancient people. Here, in addition to primitive scrapers, knives and arrowheads, men and women sculptural portraits of striking craftsmanship were found, as well as images of animals and birds on bones and horns.

In the period from the III century BC. to the 3rd century A.D. on the site of Simferopol was the capital of the late Scythian state of Scythian Naples, and in the 15th-18th centuries there was a large Tatar settlement Ak-Mechet. By medieval standards, Ak-Mosque was a fairly large city. It was home to about 10 thousand people. Houses in the city were mainly two- and three-story, there were many mosques, bazaars, hotels. Picturesque fountains were the decoration of the city.

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia, it was planned to make the city of Old Crimea the administrative center of the peninsula. However, Empress Catherine II ordered to build a new capital of the peninsula next to the medieval Ak-Mosque. On February 19, 1784, a decree was issued on the founding of a new city. Simferopol owes its name to Evgeny Bulgaris, a well-known spiritual and secular figure, a famous scientist. The name of the city from Greek can be translated as "city of benefit", "city-gathering"

The city was built by the forces of soldiers and state peasants who were dismissed from service, brought here from the central provinces and from Little Russia. Hewn stone from the ruins of Scythian Naples was used as a building material for administrative and residential buildings.

Simferopol developed rather quickly, but after Emperor Paul I abolished the Tauride region, the construction of the city was suspended, and revived again only after the accession of Alexander I and the assignment of Simferopol the status of the main city of the Tauride province.

During the Crimean War of 1853-1856, all the main rear services of the Russian army were concentrated in Simferopol. The units that went to reinforce the Sevastopol garrison were equipped here. The city was turned into a huge hospital: thousands of wounded defenders of Sevastopol were brought here.

The life of the provincial town became more lively when, in 1874, the construction of the Kharkov-Simferopol railway was completed. The first industrial enterprises appeared in the city - canning, confectionery, tobacco factories.

With the establishment of Soviet power in the Crimea, Simferopol became the capital of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In the 1920s and 1930s, many industrial enterprises appeared in the city. Simferopol is becoming an important scientific center. During the Great Patriotic War, Simferopol was subjected to massive bombing, as a result of which the architectural appearance of the city was irreparably damaged. After the war, the city was rebuilt at an accelerated pace. New houses, factories appeared, the transport system was reconstructed. Today the city continues to develop actively.
