Vichuga is located in the Ivanovo region, 60 km from Ivanovo. Vichuga was founded in 1925 by uniting 30 settlements, and the village that gave the name to the city was not included in it - now it is the village of Old Vichuga, 5 km from the city. The infrastructure of the city is concentrated mainly around the three main non-adjacent factory centers - Tezina, Bonachek and Novaya Golchikha - the areas between which still look like rural areas.

It is located 6 km from the Vichuga railway station (on the
Ivanovo-Kineshma line), about 60 km northeast of Ivanovo. The village is
located in a picturesque area on the banks of the Vichuzhanka River,
which flows into the Sunzha River, the right tributary of the Volga.
Staraya Vichuga is connected by suburban and intercity bus service
with the settlements of the region and the cities of Ivanovo, Kineshma,
Yuryevets, Moscow and Shuya. About 3 km from the village passes the
highway P71 Kineshma - Kovrov.
The border of the Starovichugsky urban settlement begins at the confluence of the Yarchikha stream in the river. Vichuzhanka, goes along the channel of the Vichuzhanka River to the north-west along the border of the development of Staraya Vichuga and goes north to the village of Volkovo, goes along the southern border of the village of Volkovo, goes to the east, crosses the Staraya Vichuga - Vekhtevo highway, goes along the borders of the SHT fields " Vostok", crosses the Staraya Vichuga-Kineshma highway, passes along the southern border of the collective horticultural farm and the western lands of the private household plot of Perov V.V., SPK "Potekhino", along the southern border of the SPK "Potekhino" turns southeast, crosses the Kovrov-Shuya highway -Kineshma, goes parallel to the road to the south and turns to the west, again crossing the Kovrov-Kineshma road to the Yarchikha stream, then goes along the stream and returns to the origin.
Initially - the village of Vichuga, one of the oldest settlements in
the Ivanovo region. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1482,
when Vichuga, Kineshma and Lukh were granted to Prince Fyodor Ivanovich
Belsky by the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III on the occasion of his
marriage to Ivan III's niece, Princess Anna Vasilievna of Ryazan.
According to other sources, the Vichug volost was granted to Belsky in
1493.
Again, the village of Vichuga, as the administrative center
of the Vichug volost, is mentioned in the testamentary deed of the same
Ivan III in 1504: “Prince Fedor and his children serve my son Vasily,
and they keep that patrimony as it was with me, and Prince Fedor will
leave or his children from my son Vasily to my smaller children or to
anyone, and that is his fiefdom to my son Vasily. It was this date that
was taken as “official” and in 2004 the 500th anniversary was solemnly
celebrated, in honor of this event, a memorial sign was installed at the
entrance to the village.
During the Oprichnina, the patrimony of
the disgraced princes of Belsky was confiscated and passed into the
category of "sovereign". Subsequently, the village was granted to the
Tatishchev family.
It can be assumed that the first of the
Tatishchev family, who owned the volost, was Ignatiy Petrovich
Tatishchev, governor and guardsman of Ivan IV, from him, by inheritance,
she went first to his son - Yuri Ignatievich, then to his grandson -
Mikhail Yuryevich, and then passed to his great-grandson - Daniil
(Danilo) Mikhailovich Tatishchev (1660 - until 1736). The practice of
transferring lands confiscated from the nobility to guardsmen took
place.
During the time of Peter I, the owner of the village was
Daniil Mikhailovich Tatishchev. He, who had been correcting the position
of the Suzdal commandant since 1711, was closely acquainted and
participated in the fate of the disgraced queen - Evdokia Lopukhina, who
was forcibly trimmed as a nun and exiled to the Suzdal monastery. In
1718 he was charged with:
“When I was a landrichter in Suzdal, I
heard about the tonsure of Tsarina Evdokia Feodorovna and came to bow to
her at the Pokrovsky maiden monastery, saw her in a worldly dress,
attached letters and parcels to her, and brought food and other supplies
to her himself”
Together with D. M. Tatishchev, his wife was also
convicted, including to corporal punishment.
After that, the
patrimony passed to an associate of Peter I - V.D. Kormchin, who
originally owned the village. Khrenovo, then in 1716 (after many years
of litigation) received the village of Morozovo, and after the disgrace
of Daniil Tatishchev, also neighboring Vichuga. Vasily Dmitrievich had
no heirs and in 1729, immediately after his death, by decree of
September 1 (12), 1729, all his possessions, including Vichuga, were
confiscated. But in 1742 they were returned to the widow.
In
1744, after Elizabeth Petrovna came to power, Sergei Danilovich
Tatishchev sought the return of the village confiscated from his father.
And at the end of the 18th century, it first passes into the common
ownership of the brothers Sergei and Dmitry Tatishchev, and then into
the sole property of the chamberlain and lieutenant general of the
Izmailovsky court guards regiment - Sergei Pavlovich Tatishchev.
A number of sources point to the count title of S.P. Tatishchev. Most
likely, such information is erroneous, since in the list of noble
families, the first mention of the “granting to the dignity of a count”
of a representative of this family refers only to 1801. It was under
Sergei Pavlovich that the village reached its peak. In 1801, the
architect Gaudenzio Maricelli built a large stone Trinity (Nikolsky)
church. Probably from that moment on, the Orthodox feast of the
Life-Giving Trinity is considered the "annual" or "throne" feast of the
village. This tradition is preserved to this day, on this holiday the
"Day of the village" is held. Unfortunately, the temple was not
preserved; it was completely destroyed in 1955. Near the temple there
was a large trading area paved with natural stone, on which, in the
immediate vicinity of the temple, stone shopping arcades were erected
(now Klubnaya st., 1). The village also had inns, taverns, taverns. The
name “Kabatskaya Gora” has been preserved among the people (now it is a
descent to the Vichuzhanka River along Shkolnaya Street). Customs duties
were levied and, as we would now say, excise taxes on the sale of
alcohol.
The pearl of the village was the estate, which includes
the Palace and the Park. The exact date of construction is unknown, but
in written sources in 1824 the count's house is referred to as "new".
In 1872, the daughter of Sergei Pavlovich Tatishchev, Maria
Sergeevna Eichler, was forced to sell this estate for debts. It is
purchased by a local merchant and wealthy manufacturer Ivan
Alexandrovich Mindovsky (1836-1912) under the hammer. The last owner of
the estate and the village of Vichugi. According to some researchers,
the history of the sale of the estate formed the basis of A.P. Chekhov's
play "The Cherry Orchard".
In the 19th century, neighboring
settlements were united near the railway station in the town of Novaya
Vichuga, which later became known as Vichuga, after which the old
settlement became known as Staraya Vichuga.
The status of an
urban-type settlement near Staraya Vichuga has been established since
1938.
