Pemba (village)

The village of Pemba is located 20 km south of Yoshkar-Ola between the villages of Cuyar (at a distance of 6 km) and Surok (at a distance of 9 km). It is located in the middle of a forest two kilometers east of the Kazan highway . From all sides the village is surrounded by a picturesque forest with ravines and swamps, a diverse flora and fauna, rich in mushrooms and berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, lingonberries.

The village of Pemba was formed as a logging point in connection with the construction of the Zeleny Dol - Yoshkar-Ola railway. The forest site was called the Moscow Red Banner. Its first inhabitants were the Dudrins family. In 1929, a timber industry enterprise was organized for timber exportation, headed by S. Dudrin. Then they called the village “89th kilometer” (due to the fact that it was formed on the 89th kilometer of the Kazan Railway).

At first, there were no private houses in the village. People lived in barracks located both in the village itself and in the forest blocks adjacent to it - No. 81, 82, 83, 100, 113, 114. They worked mainly in the timber industry enterprise and the Moscow Red Banner construction organization, which was engaged in the construction of two-story squared houses that were dismantled and shipped by wagons to other areas. There was a railway dead end with a length of 1 km, S. Kozlov was its head. The loading of the cars went around the clock; more than 100 people worked as loaders here.

In April 1938, the timber industry enterprise was closed and transferred to the village of Golovino, Orsha district , and in May the construction organization was liquidated. Instead, a logging point was formed from the Kazan bakery No. 1, which lasted until 1947.

By this time, the village had a kindergarten from the Yoshkar-Ola forestry enterprise with 25 children, a club with an auditorium, a small library and a radio installation, a dance floor, a bakery, an outpatient clinic, and an elementary school.

In 1956, the settlement “89th kilometer” of the Kazan Railway was included in the newly formed Kuyarsky Village Council of the Medvedevsky District.
