Nepluyevka (also known as Nepluiev, Nepluyevo, Pluhowka, Plujew, Pluhof, Seifertsland, and Seifert or Seifart land) Mennonite settlement, located in Tschortomlek Volost, province of Ekaterinoslav (now Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), Ukraine, Russia, was established in 1870. It consisted of five villages: No. 1, Blumenfeld (Kisslitchevatoye), No. 2, Steinau (Starozavodskaya), No. 3, Hamburg or New Hamburg, No. 4, Neubergthal, and No. 5, Hoffnungsfeld or Hoffnungsort (Dolgenkoye or Dolgenko). The settlement consisted of 10,800 acres. The land was leased from the nobleman Nepluyev (Nepluiev), and the settlers came from the Chortitza Mennonite Settlement. The villages were located 10 miles (16 km) from the city of Nikolaipol on the Dnieper River.
The settlement experienced a significant loss in its population due to the migration of Mennonites in the 1870s to Canada. In 1875 alone, 34 families were recorded as emigrating from Nepluyevka to the Manitoba West Reserve. In 1889, the residents of Steinau renewed their lease with the owner, but residents in the other villages declined their lease renewal due to a significant increase in the cost of the lease (from 2 rubles and 50 kopecs to 5 rubles). Some village lists for Nepluyevka only name Steinau and Blumenfeld, indicating that the other three villages ceased to exist early in the settlement's history.
