Kashira (Russian: Каши́ра) is a town and the administrative center of Kashirsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Oka River 115 kilometers (71 mi) south of Moscow. Population: 41,870 (2010 Census);[1] 40,898 (2002 Census);[5] 44,110 (1989 Census).[6]
Kashira was first mentioned in 1356 as a village of Koshira (Кошира) named after the Koshira River (today's Kashirka River). However, 1619 is considered Kashira's foundation year, when the town was transferred from the left bank of the Oka to the right bank some 5 km upstream and rebuilt (it was badly damaged by the Crimean Tatars in 1592 and 1596).
The town was once home to exiled Kazan khan Ghabdellatif. The coat of arms of Kashira contains the image of Zilant, a heraldic symbol of Kazan.
Town status was granted to it in 1777.
At Kashira there is a large thermal power plant. In 1950 at Kashira, the terminal of the first HVDC-transmission was built.
