Mamadysh

Mamadysh lies on the Vyatka River, a tributary of the Kama. The settlement is known from the end of the fourteenth or beginning of the fifteenth century. From the early seventeenth century it was also known as the village of Troitskoye, a name associated with its church. In 1781 it received town status. Its river setting places it on the Vyatka route above the meeting of that river with the Kama, amid the lands east of Kazan.
