Story

The time of the emergence of a settlement on the site of the city is not precisely established. Morsha village

existed back in the 16th century.
On September 16, 1779, by personal decree of Catherine II, Morsha, the center of grain trade in Tsna, was transformed into the city of Morshansk
, which became a district town. By decree of Catherine II, nobleman Kirill Parshin became the governor of Morshansk.

Market ties expanded and strengthened. Tsna served as the most important trade route. She was navigable from Morshansk. From the Morshansk piers, cargo was sent on barges along the Moksha, Oka, Volga rivers and further along the river systems to St. Petersburg, Rybinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow, Murom.

Over the course of a year, up to 14 million poods of various cargoes were exported from Morshansk: bread, flour, lard, leather, livestock, hemp, shag. At the same time, stone, salt, and various factory products arrived in Morshansk for transportation by horse-drawn transport to the southern districts of the province. Every year, over a hundred different vessels were built to service the Tsna waterway near Morshansk. A whole army of hired workers was employed in their construction and transportation of goods.

In 1875 there was a fire in Morshansk. As it is written in historical essays: “Many people threw their most valuable property into Tsna and tried to escape with it in the river, others were forced to abandon everything and flee across the river in the forest. They said that even the river was on fire; various things were floating along it: chests, clothes. Even in the water, everything continued to burn, giving the impression that the water was burning. There was no way to extinguish a fire of such magnitude. Strong winds contributed to the spread of the fire. In nearby villages they saw how the wind carried burnt jackdaws, rags, and papers over them. It was also visible how burning rafters and brands were carried across the river and into the field.”

In the 19th century, the city's commercial importance declined due to the construction of railways. The cloth and tobacco (shag) industries began to develop there.

An interesting event of Russian construction is connected with the history of the city: in 1811-1812. here, for the first time in Russia, a wooden church was moved 42 arshins by a self-taught serf mechanic Dmitry Petrov.

On December 1, 1922, the great football player and hockey player Vsevolod Mikhailovich Bobrov was born in the city of Morshansk.

During the Great Patriotic War, Morshansk was a rear city, one of the main centers of shag and tobacco production, the products of which were supplied to the Red Army.

In 1990, the city of Morshansk received the status of a historical city.
