Tsyganovka (Diveevo district)

The lands of the village at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries belonged to the large landowners Neidgart . Here was an estate with residential and household buildings. The manor house was located near the old cutting area Gypsy Porub . From the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th centuries, a mine operated near the village, where raw materials were extracted for the iron smelter, which was located not far from the Vichkinza shore. The plant belonged to the Balykov landowner P.P. Mendelev. The depth of the primitive mines (pipes) that functioned in the mine was 4-12 sazhens . Production amounted to 10 thousand pounds per year. Nearby were brown coal reserves . Before the First World War, Neidgart sold land to Naryshkin settlers.
