History
Donskoye is an old settlement whose origins are associated with the construction of the Tambov defensive line and the foundation of the Tambov fortress in the 17th century. The settlement was historically known by the names Pyashkilskaya Sloboda and Donskaya Sloboda. The former name derived from the Pyashkil stream, which flows through the settlement and empties into the Tsna; the latter reflected the settlement's association with Don Cossacks, who were among its early inhabitants.
The earliest documentary reference currently cited is a census of 1696, in which the settlement appears as Pyashkilskaya Sloboda. Later records continued to use that name for the settlement for much of the 18th and 19th centuries, although Donskaya Sloboda was also used.
By the late 17th century the settlement was already an established Cossack community. Its position near Tambov and on the road linking Tambov with Morshansk also contributed to the development of transport and trade.
