history

View of the Khupta and Ryashsk

The place was first mentioned in 1502 under the name Ryassk . It was a fortified settlement that controlled the land connection ( Wolok ) between the rivers Khupta (basin of the Oka ) and Stanovaya Ryassa (basin of the Don ). In the 16th and 17th centuries, the names Rjaskoi and Rjaskow were also found. During this time the place belonged to the fortifications along the then southeast border of the Russian Empire.

In 1778 the city charter was granted as the administrative center of a district ( Ujesds ) in Ryazan Governorate .

Around 1870 the city became an important railway junction. The settlement at the train station, about three kilometers east of the old city center, was spun off in 1927 as an urban-type settlement with the name Novorjaschski, later also Novo-Rjaschsk ("New Rjaschsk"), but was incorporated again in 1962.
