In 1935, the Soviet government decided to develop heavy industry in the Absheron Peninsula, and the future location of Sumgait was chosen based on its proximity to Baku and its key position on the existing railroad lines. Between 1938 and 1941, a thermal power station was constructed to power Baku's growing petroleum industry. Source: Wikipedia contributors · CC BY-SA 4.0 (adapted).
