history

In the old town of Jefremov

Yefremov was founded in 1637 as a fortress to protect the southern borders of the Russian Empire at that time. The name is derived from the Russian first name - here presumably the first fortress commander - Yefrem . Towards the end of the century the fortress lost its military importance.

In 1777 the town charter was granted as the administrative center of a district ( Ujesds ) in the Tula governorate .

From the 1930s onwards, Yefremow was developed into a center for the chemical industry in particular.

During the Second World War , Yefremov was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on November 23, 1941 , and was recaptured on December 13, 1941 by the Red Army's southwestern front in a counter-attack in the direction of Yelez .
