History
It was founded in 1971 as a working settlement in connection with the construction of the Krasnoyarsk plant of automobile and tractor trailers and semi-trailers. Since 1973 it has been called Sosnovoborsk; The name is motivated by the pine forests (Russian: Sosnovy bor) surrounding the village. For some time it was part of the Leninsky district of the city of Krasnoyarsk. It was granted town status in 1985.
In 1970, the government decided to build the largest trailer plant for KamAZ vehicles in the Krasnoyarsk region. At the same time, the construction of Sosnovoborsk began. The first director of the plant was Yuri Ivanovich Matveev, who later became the first honorary citizen of the city. Currently, the city has little developed infrastructure, as the city continues to be built.
