History of Buturlinovka

It was founded in 1740, when the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna presented these lands to the general field marshal A.B.Buturlin (1694-1767). Its first settlers were Ukrainians.

In the 19th century the settlers were engaged in sewing boots and slippers and baking brand gingerbreads. In the late 19th – early 20th centuries it was “a well-known settlement” - one of the most populous rural settlements in Russia. It had 6 churches, a rural hospital, an almshouse, 2 wine distilleries, 3 brick factories, 20 skinneries, and 86 windmills. Annual fairs were carried out there. The main crafts of the population included smithcraft, currying, sewing sheepskin coats, and shoemaking.

Buturlinovka has been a town since 1917.
