Ustyuzhna

Ustyuzhna

Ustyuzhna ( _ru. У́стюжна) is a town in the western part of Vologda Oblast, Russia, located on the Mologa River. It was first mentioned, as Ustyug-Zhelezny, in 1252, and in the following century was called variously Ustizhna, Ustizhnya, Ustyuzhnya, and Yustyzhnya; from the 16th through the 18th centuries it was Ustyuzhna-Zheleznaya or Ustyuzhna-Zheleznopolskaya, but after 1808 it maintained its modern name. The origin of the name is unclear, though it may be related to that of Ustyug. [E. M. Pospelov, "Geograficheskiye nazvaniya mira, p. 436.] It received town status in 1738.
