The partially frozen Lake Wad with part of the village

It is located on the Wadok River, which flows into the Pjana about 8 km east , and its right tributary Watma. In the north-western part of the village, the Wadok flows through Lake Wad (also Wadskoje or Mordovskoye ), a karst lake artificially enlarged to an area of ​​56 hectares by a dam , to which water flows so strongly through two karst funnels at the bottom that the lake around it in winter Hopper never freezes over.

history

The place originated in 1552 as a Russian settlement in an area almost exclusively populated by Mordvins until the Mongol invasion in the 13th century . In the course of the 17th century it gained local importance and was subsequently the seat of a Volost in Ujesd Arsamas, from 1727 in the holdings of the Nizhny Novgorod governorate ( governorship from 1779, governorate again from 1796).

On June 10, 1929 Wad became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him.
