History
The region was settled by the Meshchera tribe during the Middle Ages. The village of Gorbatovo (Горбатово) was first documented in 1565 as a votchina of Prince Alexander Gorbaty-Shuysky after whom it takes its name. Its growth was owing to the manufacture of ropes and cherry cultivation. In 1779, Gorbatovo was merged with Meshchera sloboda and chartered as a town. Modern Gorbatov is one of Russia's smallest towns.
