history

The founding year of the place is 1647, when a fortification was built there in the course of the Simbirsk-Karsuner Verhaulinie , obviously named after a settlement that already existed nearby. The fortification soon lost its military importance, as the border of the empire shifted in a south-easterly direction.

In 1780 Karsun received city rights as the administrative seat of the Ujesds of the same name in the Simbirsk governorate . In some cases, the spelling Korsun was also common until the 20th century .

In 1925 Karsun lost its town charter and was again considered a village, but in 1928 it became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. In January 1943 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
