Novocheboksarsk was founded in 1960 due to the building of a chemical industrial complex there.

In due course, Novocheboksarsk expanded and included small nearby villages. The settlement grew up and developed so fast that already in 1965 it gained the status of a town.

The principal employer and mainstay of the entire town is the Khimprom joint-stock company. Since 1986 year the Cheboksary Hydrostation built on Volga River not far from the town has produced cheap electric power for the Chuvash Republic and the neighboring regions. The industrial potential Novocheboksarsk includes 219 enterprises, with 18 core ones.
