History
Founded in 1794 as Umanskoye (Уманское), it was one of the first forty settlements by the Black Sea Cossacks in the Kuban region. It became a stanitsa in 1842.
Umanskoye survived the fall of 1932 and the winter of 1933, when hundreds of residents starved to death. In 1934, all the surviving population (1,200 families) was evicted in the northern regions of the Soviet Union and to Kazakhstan. In their stead, the stanitsa was repopulated by families from the Belarusian and Leningrad military districts and its name was changed to Leningradskaya.
