Murom monasteries, icons and wonderworkers were famous throughout Russia, attracted royal people. Peter I, Catherine II, Pavel I, Nikolay I and the heir Alexander Nikolaevich visited Murom.

In the XVII - XIX centuries, Murom was a rich merchant city with major fairs and active trade. The heyday of the city in the XIX century is associated with the name of the mayor A.V. Yermakov, who set up one of the first water pipelines in Russia, conducted a telegraph, tiled the streets, built a city theater.
