Orda

Orda is recorded from 1662, when its wooden church was burned during an attack. By 1696 it was called the village of Ilyinskoye, also Orda; another name, Ilyinsky stockade, came from its Church of Elijah the Prophet. In July 1703 peasants here rose in arms against abuses by the Kungur district administration. During Pugachev's rebellion, his forces attempted to enter Orda in 1773 and met determined resistance; the village was almost completely destroyed. Stone carving and pottery were among the local crafts recorded from the seventeenth century.
