History of the Yaroslavl region (Moscow, Russia)
You can trace the history of the area starting from the middle of the 18th century. According to archival documents, at that time the Taininskaya volost and the village of Malye Mytishchi were located here. The name of the village comes from the word "myt", which means "toll collection". The duty was collected when crossing the Yauza in Mytishchi. The village was located near the river Ichka. This settlement was small and consisted of about 200 people. It was located directly at the intersection of the Ichka River and the road, which was the only way for merchants and pilgrims.
