History

Establishment under the Russian Empire

A second-class station appeared near the Lyzhinsky farm (and two kilometers from the Frolova farm) in connection with the construction of the Gryaze-Tsaritsyn railway[ru] in 1868–1871 on the territory of the Don Host Oblast. Initially, the station was called Mikhailo-Chertkovo in honor of the acting ataman of the Don Army from 1874 to 1881, Lieutenant General Mikhail Chertkov. The station had a train station, a water pumping station, and a large locomotive depot. In 1875, it received a new name after the nearby Archeda river.
