Koshki

Koshki stands by the Kondurcha River. Chuvash settlers gave the village its name, and the surrounding country preserves evidence of much older habitation, including Bronze Age settlements and burial mounds. In 1780 the settlement was recorded as Preobrazhenskaya Kondurchinskaya Sloboda, also called Koshki, inhabited by tax-paying peasants. It passed from Stavropol district to Samara district when the Simbirsk Viceroyalty was created, and from 1796 belonged to Simbirsk Governorate.
