It occupies the northwestern corner of the city, adjacent to the Volga River. Population: The village originally known as Soromovo () had existed since 1542. In 1849, the Sormovo Works—soon one of Russia's most important machine-building plants, later known as Krasnoye Sormovo—was founded; its owner had the village renamed to more euphonic ''Sormovo''.

Zavolzhye, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast
Zavolzhye (russian: Заво́лжье) is a town in Gorodetsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Volga River, opposite Gorodets, the administrative centre of the district, and northwest of Nizhny Novgorod, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: Etymology The name of the town literally means ''" he landsbeyond the Volga"'', i.e., on the river's ''left'' bank, since "beyond" here is taken relative to the historically more populated right bank of the river. Thus, Zavolzhye—the region in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast—normally refers to its forested and sparsely populated northeastern half. This makes the name of the town of Zavolzhye somewhat confusing for some people in the region, since the city is located on the ''right'' side of the river—it is only "beyond the river" with respect to much older Gorodets. History It was founded in 1950 as a settlement serving the construction of the Gorky Hydroelectric Station (now Nizh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
