In 1875, Kotlyarevskaya railway station was built three kilometers south of the stanitsa, and a settlement formed around it in 1888. In 1920, the settlement was renamed Prishibsky, in 1925—Maysky. In 1959, the settlement and the stanitsa were merged into the urban-type settlement of Maysky, which was granted town status in 1965.
