The origin of the city
Nobody knows the exact date of the appearance of the future Bobrovsky district. Historians claim that this place was chosen by the Tatar nomads during the Mongol yoke. It was here that ritual mausoleums and barrows were found, where noble military leaders of the Tatar tribe were buried.
It is also known that at the end of the 17th century a previously unknown settlement was discovered on the Bityug River. Local residents were engaged in beaver fishing and successfully sold the resulting products. All settlements on the territory of modern Bobrovsky district repeated the fate of neighboring Anna. Emperor Peter I, the new city formations were declared illegal, so they were burned, and local residents were recognized illegals and expelled.
Palace peasants from different Russian provinces began to be resettled here, and they even built a small fortress with loopholes, which, however, did not prevent the rebels of the Bulavin detachment from plundering the settlement in 1708.
During the Civil War, the Bobrovsky District of the Voronezh Region constantly changed hands, and during the Great Patriotic War, there was a close rear of the Voronezh Front. The city gave a serious rebuff - a partisan detachment was founded, frightening the invaders.
With the advent of peace, the center of the Bobrovsky district began its consistent path to the formation of part of the Russian province.
