Rozhdestvenskaya, known in German as Fürstendorf, was founded in the North Caucasus on the banks of the Kuban River in 1864 by Volga German colonists from Semenovka. However, colonists from Köhler may have been living there already as early as 1858.
Today, Rozhdestvenskaya is part of the metropolitan area of Nevinnomyssk.
