Saygatsky

Saygatka was a village on the Kama, recorded from 1646. It lay in the river country south of Sarapul, where the Kama connected settlements and fishing grounds. Sarapul itself appears in a 1596 register referring to fishing in the surrounding waters and became a merchant town in the eighteenth century. Saygatka belonged to the smaller rural communities along this reach of the river, whose banks joined the lands of the middle Kama with those farther south.
