Mozhga

Busorman-Mozhga was recorded in the census of 1710 as a settlement of twelve households on the Arsk road. The name recalls the Mozhga community of the Udmurt lands south of the Cheptsa. In 1835 the Yelabuga merchant Fyodor Chernov established a glassworks on the Syuga River nearby. The works produced glass and vessels, and a factory settlement grew around it, adding a new industrial community to the older villages of the district.
