1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya street

The name of the XVI century is given according to the Tver Yamskaya settlement , which appeared here under Ivan the Terrible and remained almost until the end of the XIX century . A number of streets and lanes are also named after Tverskaya Yamskaya Sloboda, differing in serial numbers: 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street , 3rd Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street , 4th Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street , 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Lane , 2- th Tverskaya-Yamskaya lane .

Living in the Tver Yamskaya Sloboda, which occupied a large space on both sides of the Tverskaya Road, the coachmen provided for the transportation of mail , passengers and goods, first along the Moscow- Tver highway , then Moscow -St . Petersburg . The Sloboda retained its character until the second half of the 19th century , but after the end of the Yamskaya race and the construction of the Smolensky (now Belorussky ) station in 1870, active development of Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street began, and it began to look more and more like Tverskaya Street . In 1872, they launched a show , and at the beginning of the 20th century - a tram .

At the intersection of 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya and Vasilyevskaya streets was the church of Vasily of Caesarea, known since the 16th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the St. Nicholas Chapel was built next to it according to the design of F.O. Shekhtel in memory of the wedding day of Emperor Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra Fedorovna (the church and the chapel were not preserved).

In 1932, 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street was united with Tverskaya under the general name and since that time was named in honor of the writer Maxim Gorky Gorky Street. In 1990, the street was returned to its historical name.
