Nizhnedevitsk, Nizhnedevitskoye Rural Settlement, Nizhnedevitsky District, Voronezh Oblast

Nizhnedevitsk (Russian: Нижнеде́вицк) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Nizhnedevitsky District of Voronezh Oblast, Russia.

[4] Nizhnedevitsk was founded in late 17th century by settlers from Zemlyansk and Stary Oskol.

[5] The proximity of such large cities as Voronezh and Stary Oskol did not allow Nizhnedevitsk to develop into a commercial or industrial center.

In 1928, after the uyezd was abolished, Nizhnedevitsk lost its town status and became a selo, or village.

[6] There is an eponymous settlement 19 km to the north, which emerged around Nizhnedevitsk railway station.
