Slobodskaya Street in Novopolotsk is located in a historic area where the village of Sloboda, which gave it its name, once stood. It is one of the oldest streets in the city, preserving the memory of the original builders — it was here that a monument to the first tent was erected in 1958, symbolizing the beginning of the construction of the "Oil City" (Neftegrad).
The street borders the territory of the so-called Pioneer Settlement — the first residential area of Novopolotsk, which began to be developed in July 1958. In this block, bounded by Molodyozhnaya, Gaidara, Slobodskaya, and Ktatorova Streets, low-rise buildings from the late 1950s and early 1960s have been preserved.
Today, Slobodskaya Street is a quiet, green area with two- and three-story brick houses from the early series (1-247С, 1-434С), which create a unique, intimate atmosphere, distinct from the typical multi-story buildings of later microdistricts. Thanks to its historical character and proximity to the central streets, this area remains attractive for living and is gradually being integrated into the modern urban environment of Novopolotsk.
