History
A Russian military outpost of Prishib was founded in 1819. It was re-organized as the stanitsa of Prishibskaya in 1829. In 1875, Kotlyarevskaya railway station was built 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) south of the stanitsa and a settlement formed around it in 1888. In 1920, that settlement was renamed Prishibsky, in 1925—Maysky. In 1959, the settlement and the stanitsa were merged into the urban-type settlement of Maysky, which was granted town status in 1965.
