Yelovo

Yelovo lies on the left bank of the Kama, west of Osa. It first appears in a record of 1646 as a new settlement called Yelovoy. The nearby river formed part of the country in which Osa had been established as a Russian outpost at the end of the sixteenth century. By 1834 Yelovo had forty-four households, a small community in the rural landscape along the great waterway of the upper Kama basin.
