History of Tutayev
The first inhabitants on the lands of modern Tutayev were representatives of the Finno-Ugric tribe of the Merey, from which the names of some local rivers. In the second half of the XI century, Slavs come here and equip their settlements.
At the beginning of the XIII century, Yaroslavls, saving from the Tatar-Mongolian Halves, fled to the forest covered the valley on the right bank of the Volga and founded the settlement, called Borisoglebskaya all (later Borisoglebskaya Sloboda).
At the end of the XIII century, the Uglich Prince Roman Vladimirovich founded Grad on the opposite, the left bank of the Volga, who called in his honor Romanov, where he also reinforced a quarter of a century.
The hail was located at the intersection of large trade routes, so actively developed, and after the death of the founder passed under the power of Yaroslavl princes.
At the end of the 15th century, all the lands of the Romanov Principality bought the Great Princess Maria Yaroslavna, Mother Ivan III.
She commanded to strengthen the city of Earthwood moat and the shaft and build a defensive fortress with seven tower. Reliefs of urban trees on the left bank of the Volga can be seen to this day.
The main classes of residents of the left bank at the time were trade, fisheries, construction of boats and crossing over the Volga. At the end of the XVI century, King Ivan The Terrible handed the novels to the feeding of Tatar Murzam, which owned it that was undivided 200 years.
During this time, the city acquired a typical Muslim appearance, several mosques were built, who after the resettlement of the Tatars not adopted Christianity under Kostroma were dismantled.
In the troubled time, Romanov was lifted by the Poles, but several stone temples were already built quickly and after 100 years, forge craftsmen, high-speed sailing boats were developed — «Romanovka», Caper was made, which was supplied to the shipyard of St. Petersburg.
In 1822, in order to save the left-bank novels and the right-bank Borisoglebsk were merged into a single city, which was called Borisoglebsk Romanov.
The active development of a new city was hampered by a closeness of a large Yaroslavl, but pleased with the success of certain industries of the economy: they were bred by the famous Romanovsky sheep, a sheepskin-furry factory appeared, a flax manufactory and a mineral oil plant worked, well-known Kuznetsovsky porcelain.
In total, there were about one and a half thousand industries.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Borisoglebsk Romanov was renamed to Tutaev in memory of the ordinary Ilya of Tutaev, who died during the suppression of the White Guard. In the city developed old and built new production, a large road Yaroslavl-Rybinsk passed through it.
In 1969, the construction of the Tutaev Motor Plant began on the right bank, as well as large-scale housing for workers and infrastructure, which led to the movement of the administrative center from the Romanovskiy side to Borisoglebsk.
Modern Tutaev — These are two parts on the opposite coast of the Volga, bound by ferry crossing. Left Coast — Quiet provincial town, where many monuments of old architecture are preserved, from a tourist point of view, it is more attractive. Right bank was actively built up at the end of the 20th century, which led to a partial loss of historical heritage.
