Yegorshin Povytok

Yegorshin Povytok takes its name from Yegorsha Kozhevin, a Cossack of the Aramashevo settlement who received land on the right bank of the Bobrovka in 1665. The Bobrovka joins the Irbit in the country east of the Urals. A settlement grew on the grant and became known as Yegorshina village. Its beginnings belong to the seventeenth-century spread of Russian farming settlements across the eastern slopes and river valleys of the Urals.
