History
Tambov was founded on 17 April 1636. It was originally a border fortress against attacks by the Crimean Tatars. Later, it was demoted to a military outpost.
19th century
In November 1830 the citizens of Tambov attacked their governor. This was during the Cholera Riots. They were quickly stopped by the army. Tambov became a large cultural centre by the late 19th century. It had a growing number of schools, libraries, and other similar buildings. By 1897, its population was over 50,000 people.
20th century
1920s
From 1920-1921, the city's people started the Tambov Rebellion. This was during the Russian Civil War. It was a struggle between the citizens of Tambov and the Bolshevik Red Army. The people of Tambov created the Tambov Republic in 1921. It was quickly destroyed by the Red Army under the command of Mikhail Tukhachevsky.
1930s
Tambov Oblast was created on 27 September 1937 out of pieces of land from Voronezh and Kuybyshev (Samara) Oblasts. Tambov was made the capital city of Tambov Oblast.

The city is a large industrial center. It has the Tambov Donskoye Airport. Tambov also has the Tambov air base of the Russian Air Force. A railway between Tambov and Moscow was first created in 1871.[15] The railroad goes on to Saratov and is not electrified. There are also small suburban trains, or "rail buses" that connect Tambov with other cities. These include Michurinsk, Uvarovo, and Kirsanov.
