Linevka (Ulyanovsk district)

The first time the village of Linevka was mentioned in documents of 1697 , when it belonged to Simbiryan Dmitry Matveev Muromtsev, who in that year exchanged her for Simbiryan Lev Afonasyev Nagatkin, and he himself moved to the village of Volkovka. Linevka is located on the shore of the lake (Yerik), connecting with the river. Sviyaga half a mile from the village; the lake is 50 to 80 fathoms wide and a little more than half a half long. Local old people say that their village got its name from the fact that in the lake, in the past, a lot of tench fish were caught.

At the end of the 18th century, the village of Linevka belonged to Lieutenant Andrei Emelyanovich Stolypin and his wife Marya Afomasyevna ^[2] . During the general land survey (in 1799 ), this village consisted of 14 courtyards (67 men and 69 women) and in the possession of the Stolypin, together with captain Vasilisa Andreevna Vorontsova, there were 712 dess. 1299 soot. land. In 1817, Stolypin built a small cloth factory here and transferred here peasants from the village of Gorodishche, Undorovskaya volost. From the Stolypin, Linevka went to Colonel Pyotr Apollonovich Kakhanov, who significantly expanded the factory: built four stone buildings and increased the number of workers. In the 1850s, P. A. Kakhanov planned to build a church in Linevka. The material was prepared and the construction of the foundation had already begun, but Pyotr Apollonovich died, and the heirs did not fulfill his wishes. Under him, Linevka flourished, looked more for a town than a village: the buildings were clean, there were houses of urban architecture, not to mention a landowner’s house, very beautiful ^[3] , with a beautiful large garden. In 1889 , Countess Marya Ilyinichna Osten-Saken bought 434 tithes at the village of Linevka, with a factory and a manor, from the auction; but the factory did not even work then; she ceased to operate since 1878 . In 1903, factory buildings were in a dilapidated condition, since 25 years since the factory was completely abandoned. The neglected manor has revived in recent years: summer residents live here; two years housed a gymnasium sanatorium; but remoteness from the city of Simbirsk (25 versts) makes it impossible to develop a country house here, despite all the local favorable conditions.

In 1903, peasants who were formerly A.P. Kakhanov, including 67 souls (19 yards), were endowed with 268 tithes of land (6 manor plots of arable land, 237 dessiatines and pasture of 15 dessiatines). Of the local peasants, they have the land bought from A. I. Kakhanov: 1) Athosasy Dmitriev Borovkov - 4 tithes and 2) Stepan Loginov Palitsinsky - 6 tithes.
