Lezhnevsky District In Bloom 2009

Lezhnevsky Municipal District

 

The Lezhnevsky District is situated to the South of the City of Ivanovo and comprises 8 settlements with a total population of over 19,000 people.

The climate here is temperately continental with a warm summer and reasonably cold snowy winter.

11 rivers run through the District, there are also three medium sized extremely beautiful lakes which are favourite leisure spots for the local population and are listed as protected areas of natural beauty.

The District’s main settlement is Lezhnevo, it was first mentioned in the manuscripts in the second half of the 16th Century.  By the end of the 17th Century Lezhnevo had already become a prominent trading village with a State salt outlet, 34 merchant’s shops, many inns, beer houses and tavernas. 

 At the end of the 18th Century textile works had been established in the village, the spinning and weaving factory being still the main employer in Lezhnevo.

 The village’s pride and joy is the bell tower built to commemorate the victory over Napoleon.

 To a great degree modern Lezhnevo has retained the image of an ancient and industrial settlement.
