History
Uzen fortress was built in 1787 to protect against nomads [4] . The fortress had the shape of an 11-pointed star and had 12 batteries up to 6.5 meters high. Retired soldiers were sent to serve in the garrison of the new Russian outpost in August 1788, fugitive peasants were allowed to settle with fortification. The settlement was called the city of Uzen. However, being located 75 kilometers north of the rapidly expanding settlement of Aleksandrov Gai , the Uzen fortress was originally built in the “rear” and was not used for its intended purpose. In the summer of 1797, the Uzen fortress as a defensive structure was abolished. The church was dismantled and moved to Chertanlu ( Novouzensk ), and some of the residents also moved there. The remaining settlement was gradually inhabited by visiting state peasants (Russians and Little Russians, Orthodox and sectarians), and by the middle of the 19th century it was already a large lively (state) village [5] .
In 1859, about 1.2 thousand inhabitants lived in the village, there was an Orthodox church and a post station. The village belonged to the Novouzensk district of the Samara province [6] .
According to the List of Populated Places of the Samara Province in 1910, the village belonged to the Kuril volost, 1314 men and 1402 women lived here, the village was inhabited by former state peasants , mainly Russian , Orthodox , the village had a church, a parish and parochial school, and 9 windmills [7 ] .
In 1919, as part of the Novouzensk district, the village was included in the Saratov province [8] .
