Novovoronezh was established along with the start of the future nuclear power plant construction works in 1957.[9] It was then called the urban settlement of Novo-Graessovsky, but renamed its current name later the same year.
From 1959 to 1963 Novovoronezh was the center of the Novovoronezh district, and its administrative status was upgraded from the urban settlement to a town in 1987.[10]
In 2020, an ambiguous monument was erected in the city to the legendary founder of the city Alyonka, who, according to legend, found a good place and brought her fellow villagers there. Thanks to this monument, Novovoronezh became famous throughoutRussia,Ukraine andBelarus. The forged sculptural composition, which cost the city a million rubles and caused negative feedback[11] from citizens, was dismantled three days after installation and later sold at auction for 2.6 million rubles. with a starting price of 1 million rubles. The updated monument to Alyonka, but already made of bronze, was opened on July 1, 2022.[12]
