history

Former Tatishchev house in Staraya Witschuga

The place was first mentioned in 1504 as the village of Witschjuga in the will of the Moscow Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich . The name is of Finno-Ugric origin. In the late 18th century, Count and Lieutenant General Sergei Tatishchev had a palace ensemble built there that is still relatively well preserved today. During this period and throughout the entire 19th century, companies in the textile industry settled in, as in the entire surrounding region.

In 1871 the Ivanovo - Kineshma railway line passed a few kilometers to the southeast. The textile companies and associated workers' settlements that sprang up in the vicinity of the Witschuga railway station soon outstripped the old village economically and in terms of population. In summary, they were initially referred to as Nowaja Witschuga ("New Witschuga") and in 1925 they received city rights as Witschuga . As a result, the original village was named Staraya Witschuga ("Old Witschuga"). In 1938 it became an urban-type settlement itself.
