History
It was founded in 1551 during the reign of Ivan IV of Russia, although some historians believe that it was founded as early as 1137 under Rurik Rostislavich. It was inhabited by the streltsy, cannonmakers, and carpenters, who formed slobodas around the town. In 1618, Mikhaylov withstood a ten-day siege by the Polish army. In 1708, the town became a part of Moscow Governorate and then of Ryazan Viceroyalty and Ryazan Governorate.
