history

Bui station

The place was founded in 1536 under the rule of the regent Helena Glinskaja as a small wooden fortress, which was supposed to protect the eastern border of Moscow in this area. However, after the Kazan Khanate was taken 16 years later by the troops of Ivan the Terrible , the threat of attack from the east ceased and Bui lost its importance as a base. Nevertheless, the place was badly damaged in the 17th century during the Polish-Lithuanian intervention.

In the 18th century, Bui was mainly known as a relatively poorly populated craft settlement. In 1719 it was assigned to the Kostroma governorate , and in 1778 it was given town status, which was withdrawn from the place from 1796 to 1802.

Bui did not show any significant economic development until 1903, when the railway line Vologda - Vjatka was relocated, at which a train station was built near Bui. Today this route is part of the Trans-Siberian Railway . At the beginning of the 20th century, several smaller factories were built in Bui. However, a large part of the urban infrastructure - including the water pipe, the electricity network and the hospital - was not completed until the 1960s.
