Askino

Askino was founded in 1630 by tribute-paying peasants from several districts of the Osa country. It developed beside the Askinka and Burma rivers on the road from Ufa toward Kungur. Its position in the wooded lands north of Ufa placed it between the Bashkir interior and the older settlements of the Kama basin. The road later served as a postal route, giving the village a place on the journey between the two regional centers.
