The foundation of the city dates back to 1152[4], when Gorodets Meshchersky

(located slightly downstream of the Oka from modern Kasimov, at the confluence of the Babenka River with the Oka).
By order of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, Gorodets Meshchersky was turned into a border fortress of the Rostov-Suzdal (Suzdal Principality). In 1376, the city was completely burned and devastated as a result of the Mongol raid [ source not specified 253 days
], but soon a new city arose not far from the previous location, which until 1471 was called
the New Lower City
.
The initial localization of Gorodets Meshchersky is expected in the area of ​​Stary Posad (Ulanova Gora). The transfer of the city to its modern location was carried out during the reign of Shah Ali Khan, that is, no earlier than the mid-second half of the 16th century[5]. Russians and long-time inhabitants of these places lived in it - Meshchera, Mordovians, Murom [ source not specified 470 days

Kasimov Khanate

Main article: Kingdom of Kasimov

In the 15th century, an unexpected and very significant change occurred in the life of Gorodets. In the struggle for the Moscow throne, Grand Duke Vasily the Dark received great help [ what?

] provided by the Tatar princes Kasim and Yakub. In 1446, they left Kazan for Rus', fleeing the persecution of their brother Makhmutek, who seized power. For loyalty and important services, Prince Vasily granted Kasim Nizova Gorodets. This was in 1452. Thus, by princely decree, the Kasimov Khanate arose in the depths of the Meshchera forests, which existed from 1452 to 1681. The kingdom included the territory of the districts of the future Ryazan and Tambov provinces (Kasimovsky, Shatsky, Elatomsky, Temnikovsky)[6].

As part of the Russian state

After Ivan the Terrible conquered Kazan in 1552, the last ruler of the Kazan Khanate, Syuyumbike, was exiled to Kasimov, who died in this city a few years later.

In 1681, with the death of the last owner of Kasimov, Fatima Sultan, the Kasimov kingdom (Khanate) ceased to exist and was annexed to the palace volosts[7]. From the period of the Kasimov kingdom, several interesting buildings have been preserved in the city: a minaret from the time of Tsarevich Kasim, a mosque, two mausoleums (tekiyas), the Tatar kings were buried in the mausoleums.

In the 17th century, Kasimov was divided into 3 parts: the inheritance of the Kasimov khans and beks ( Tatarskaya Sloboda

and
Stary Posad
);
Yamskaya Sloboda
(was directly subordinate to Moscow), the rest of the city (including
Marfina Sloboda
) was governed by the Kasimov voivode.

In 1719, according to the decree of Peter I “On the organization of provinces and on the appointment of their rulers,” the Pereyaslav-Ryazan province was formed as part of the Moscow province.

County town

In 1773, Kasimov became a district town - the center of the Kasimov district of the Ryazan governorship. After the death of Catherine II in 1796, Paul I restored the division of the country into provinces. On December 12, 1796, the governorship was transformed into the Ryazan province[8].

• After the death of Shah-Ali in 1567, Sain-Bulat, the great-grandson of the last great Great Horde khan Akhmat, found himself on the Kasimov throne. 6 years later, in 1573, he was baptized under the name Simeon. On October 30, 1575, two years after his baptism, Ivan the Terrible makes him “Tsar and Grand Duke of All Rus', Grand Duke of Tver.” The ceremony took place in the Assumption Cathedral in the Kremlin, as expected. Known to chronicles as Simeon Bekbulatovich
  . Ivan the Terrible began to call himself “serf Ivashka.” Simeon's reign lasted 11 months, after which Ivan removed him and generously rewarded him with Tver and Torzhok.
• In 1722, heading along the Oka on the Persian campaign, Peter the Great visited Kasimov for the second time. In the retinue of Peter the Great there was the jester and wit Ivan Balakirev, who came from an old noble family. He learned that the title of ruler of the city was not taken and asked the king for permission to be called Khan Kasimovsky. The king jokingly agreed, and so the “khan” appeared again in Kasimov. Initially, this title was formal, but after the death of Peter the Great, by decree of Catherine I, Balakirev received the right to own the former estates of the Kasimov kings, the rank of lieutenant of the Life Guards and the title of “Tsar of Kasimov.” Ivan Balakirev died in Kasimov. His grave is located behind the altar of the St. George (Epiphany) Church.
• In September 1812, hospitals were established in the cities of Kasimov, Elatma, Melenki and surrounding villages for the wounded and sick participants in the Battle of Borodino and the Patriotic War of 1812. Particularly large hospitals were deployed in Kasimov and Ryazan. The management of the hospitals was entrusted to the physician Dr. H. Loder. The wounded were brought on carts to Kolomna, transferred to ships and sent along the Oka. According to H. Loder, during the period from September 14, 1812 to May 25, 1813, 30,126 sick and wounded were admitted to hospitals located in Kasimov, Elatma and Melenki. During the same time, 23,413 people returned to duty; 2896 people were discharged for non-combatant service; 543 people were recognized as disabled; 199 officers were sent on home leave until complete recovery; 2095 people died[45].
• In 1899, Kasimov took part in the celebration of the anniversary of A. S. Pushkin; on this date, a “free public library-reading room in memory of the 100th anniversary of the birth of A. S. Pushkin” was opened, led by Pyotr Pavlovich Klevezal (1872-1962 )[46][47], grandson of the leader of the Kasimov nobility.
• On Cathedral Square there is a 19th century mansion, which in official local history literature is called “Skornyakov’s House”. The ancestors of F. S. Skornyakov came from Kasimov coachmen, and one of them served as a coachman for the Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. For his long service, he received nobility and his own coat of arms, which depicted a horse in harness[48].
• Most of the television series “Penalty Man” (main scenes and location shooting) was filmed in Kasimov. The producers of the film took a very long time and carefully chose the location for filming, because the plot of the series takes place in 1946. Kasimov was great for creating a post-war atmosphere and environment. For the most part, many objects from that era have been preserved intact. In the television series, Kasimov appears under the name Yeletsk.
