The history of the city goes back to the late

Greek settlement in the northwestern Black Sea region and was mentioned by the Greek historian Herodotus as emporion Kremnoi (Κρήμνοι, meaning cliffs).[20]

In the 13th century, Pisan merchants founded a colony, Portus Pisanus, which was however short-lived.[21] Taganrog was founded by Peter the Great on 12 September 1698.[3] The first Russian Navy base, it hosted the Azov Flotilla of Catherine the Great (1770–1783), which subsequently became the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Taganrog was granted city status in 1775.[4]

By the end of the 18th century, Taganrog had lost its importance as a military base after Crimea and the entire Sea of Azov were absorbed into the Russian Empire. In 1802, Tsar Alexander I granted the city special status, which lasted until 1887. In 1825, the Alexander I Palace in Taganrog was used as his summer residence, and he died there in November 1825. Also in Taganrog is the House of Teacher, a mansion where numerous artists have performed.

The city suffered extensive damage. Under German occupation the local government system was replaced by a German-style Bürgermeisteramt (Mayor's Office), which governed the city until it was liberated by the Red Army on 30 August 1943.[citation needed]
