Duminichi, Russia

History

The settlement of the Duminichsky plant was formed in 1882, when the Bolkhov merchant A.I. Tsyplakov and the landowner of the Zhizdrinsky District I.R.Labunsky began to build an iron foundry in the Nikitinsky forest dacha, which received its name from a nearby village. The settlement that grew up near the plant, which originally consisted of several residential buildings, two factory shelters, a store, a first-aid post and a fire station, was part of the Vertena parish.

The plant was put into operation on February 17 (March 1) 1883, and after that the village began to develop rapidly. Along the roads Bobrovo-Duminichi and Bobrovo-Polyaki, forests were cut down and dwelling houses were built. The population increased mainly due to newcomers - former craftsmen Maltsov enterprises.

In 1887 a 15-bed hospital and a pharmacy were opened, the next year - a 4-grade school, in 1890 the temple of Cosmas and Damian was built. The Duminichi station of the Moscow-Bryansk railway was built in 1898. In 1914 in the village of Duminichsky plant there were 2244 inhabitants, a 3-class zemstvo school worked.
