The settlement Vladimirovka was founded in 1768.

Vladimirovki's inhabitants were engaged in cultivation of bread, cattle breeding and transportation of salt from the
Lake Baskunchak. During a spring high water river crafts approached pier of Mamay on the Akhtuba River, were

When in 3 kilometers to the southwest of the settlement Vladimirovka on the left coast of Volga, in the backwater where the Akhtuba
River flows, the Vladimirovsky pier for loading of salt on river crafts was put. At the beginning of the 20th century in the settlement at
pier the church for the sake of Pyotr and Pavel from where since 1910 there was a name was constructed.
In 1883 the railroad which connected the lake Baskunchak to salt warehouses of pier of Mamay became operational. In 1910 in the
Peter and Paul Fortress the Okean joint-stock company organized the ship-repair point which over time grew in the ship-repair plant.
In 1920 — 1930 in connection with development of the new branches of agriculture in the regional center processing industries

Vladimirovka Astrakhanskoy station of the region of the ground for tests and researches of the pilotless and operated
weapon of the Air Force.
In a short space of time the military camp which practically united the local inhabited settlements - to Vladimirovk,
the Peter and Paul Fortress and Akhtuba - in one settlement which in 1959 received the status of the city and was
called Akhtubinsk grew.
In parallel with construction, completing of test divisions, the solution of social and everyday issues tests of aviation
arms were carried out. At the beginning trophy planes shells, torpedoes were tested, the domestic operated air bombs,
planes shells, rockets began to arrive then. The base received the official status of "The scientific proving ground of
Air Force number 4".
