History
By the middle of the XIX century. Tyumen has expanded to modern Pervomaiskaya street. Some streets along Tura stretched to the present Profsoyuznaya street and past the ravine by the Tyumenka river and up to the prison. In the early 1860s. The administration of Tyumen decided to organize one large area in this area, where all trade from the Gostinodvorsky, Police, Aleksandrovsky, Rybny and Spassky markets should have moved. This area was hereinafter referred to as Bazarnaya, Market or Khlebnaya.
At the end of the XIX century. a depot of the free fire society was built on the square, and a circus building appeared here. At the same time around the perimeter of the square began the construction of private houses, greatly reducing the size of the area. In the 1870-1880s. The square reached the streets Uspenskaya ( Khokhryakova ) and Serebryakovskaya ( Soviet ).
At the beginning of the XX century. In the middle of the square, a chapel was erected in memory of Tsar Alexander II. The chapel lasted until the 1950s, when it was demolished to create the central square of the city.
In the period 1914-1917. a water tower appeared on the square, which has survived to the present day.
Since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War in November 1941, the design bureau of O.K. Antonov and the glider plant were evacuated to Torgovaya Square, and the A-7 transport and landing gliders were evacuated. The first winged tank in the world was built here.
With the creation in 1944 of the Tyumen region, the Trade Square was chosen for the construction of administrative buildings. The square was designed by the chief architect of Tyumen, P. A. Grinenko. Flower gardens and alleys were built on the square, buildings of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the UMGB (1948-51) and residential buildings for officials of regional organizations were built at the intersections of Volodarsky and Vodoprovodnaya streets, as well as on 8 March street.
In 1950, built a Post Office. In 1953, a machine-building technical building was erected here, and in 1956 - a building of the regional committee of the CPSU, in which the administration of the region now resides. By the early 1960s. residential houses were built around the Central Square, and by 1964 the building of the House of Soviets (Regional Executive Committee) . In the 1950s trade on the square was closed, and it was no longer called Merchant: the name “obkomovskaya” was used. A bronze monument to Lenin was erected on October 27, 1979. The area was finally renamed Central in January 1986, when preparations were under way for the 400th anniversary of Tyumen.
In 1955, a 62-meter-high television tower was erected near the Post Office. In 1957, television broadcasts of Tyumen television began.
