## History

Before a stanitsa was established, there had already been a post station called Bokovskaya, which was first mentioned in official lists in 1873.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] At the end of the 19th century, the land near the [Chir River](/source/Chir_River) was being quickly settled by [Cossacks](/source/Cossacks) and peasants from other regions, although it was situated very far from any major cities.

According to the 1915 census, 395 people lived in the *[khutor](/source/Khutor)* of Bokov. There were two [parish schools](/source/Parish_school), a church and two [mills](/source/Mill_(grinding)). In 1918 the khutor changed its status to stanitsa.[5]
