Maysky (Russian: Ма́йский; Kabardian: Майскэ) is a town and the administrative center of Maysky District of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Russia, located 40 kilometers (25 mi) northeast of Nalchik, the capital of the republic. Population: 26,755 (2010 Census).
A Russian military outpost of Prishib was founded in 1824. It was re-organized as the stanitsa of Prishibskaya in 1829. In 1875, Kotlyarevskaya railway station was built 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) south of the stanitsa, and a settlement formed around it in 1888. In 1920, that 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.
