History
The village was founded on November 5 [15], 1697, by Stanitsa Cossacks from Penza, Simbirsk and Saransk counties as a departing settlement of the city of Petrovsk. The center of the settlement at that time was a prison on a promontory between two ravines on the right bank of the Serdoba River. The first settlers carried out a watchdog service to ensure the safety of the construction of the city of Petrovsk.
