Millerovo

Millerovo began as an estate on the upper Glubokaya, a tributary of the Seversky Donets. In 1786 the Don Cossack officer Ivan Miller received land here and established a farmstead known as Millerov-Glubokinsky. The river valley is cut by gullies, with open steppe beyond its banks. By 1803 the estate had seventeen households of peasant settlers from Ukrainian lands, illustrating the growth of landed settlements in the Don Cossack country during the late eighteenth century.
