Ramenki

Ramenki lay in the Kamensky district of Bezhetsky Verkh, on the road between Tver and Bezhetsk. A charter of Ivan IV in 1551 confirmed the Trinity-Sergius Monastery's rights to the village. The name is connected with a word for dense woodland adjoining fields. The settlement suffered during the disturbances of the early seventeenth century; the depopulated village was inhabited again by 1646. In 1781 the place, later called Rameshki, had 107 inhabitants.
