Minaeva Street is one of the central streets of Ulyanovsk. Until 1889 it was called Soldiers' Street, because many retired military men lived there. For two years on the street lived the satirist poet Dmitry Minaev.
After his death in 1889 the street was renamed into Minaevskaya.
Until the end of the 1960s, Minaev Street was narrow with wooden houses. By the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birthday almost all wooden buildings were torn down, the street was widened, and high-rise buildings were built. The Regional Palace of Pioneers and a children's library appeared in Minaeva street.
