History

The village was founded in 1842 by Nağaybäks from Belebeyevsky Uyezd, the Cossacks of the Orenburg Host. Like several other Ural villages, among them Parizh and Berlin, it was named to honor the feats of Cossacks in the war against Napoleon—in this case, a victorious battle of Fère-Champenoise that took place on March 25, 1814.
