History Excavations in the Karlova area have revealed traces of a Stone Age settlement. The Karlova-type stone ax is named after the district. Before the urbanization, Karlova Manor was located in the area, the most famous owner of which in the 19th century was Faddei Bulgarin, a Russian writer of Polish origin, during which time the manor became the center of local Russian cultural life.
