Tugulym

Tugulym lies on the Tugulymka, a tributary of the Pyshma, in western Siberia east of the Urals. Its name appears in a charter of 1689 granting land use to peasants and service people of the village. It also appears in the drawing book of the Siberian cartographer Semyon Remezov, compiled around the turn of the eighteenth century.

A local chronology records a tannery built by the coachman G. Mitrofanov beside the river in 1712. In 1774 forces associated with Pugachev's rebellion approached Tugulym. The village lay along the Siberian route, which connected the Ural region with Tyumen and the interior.
