Kholm

Kholm was the centre of a small principality within the lands of Tver, near the Derzha east of Zubtsov. The town appears in the inheritance of the Tver princes in the early fourteenth century, and Vsevolod Alexandrovich later held it as his appanage. His claim to the throne of Tver drew Kholm into the struggles of the princely family. Nearby stood its outlying settlement of Novy Gorodok, later known as Pogoreloye Gorodishche. Kholm itself is associated with the site of the later village of Krasny Kholm.
