Преображенский форштадт, Historic district in Tsentralny District, Russia
The Preobrazhensky suburb extends along the northern part of Tsentralny District, featuring traditional wooden structures and clay buildings from different periods.
The district originated in 1601 as a settlement outside the fortress walls between the Volga River and the Tsaritsa River confluence.
Merchants and craftsmen established workshops for cooperage and blacksmithing in the district, while fishermen developed their trade along the riverside.
Electric street lighting first appeared on Gogol Street, formerly Elizavetinskaya Street, in 1908, marking the beginning of urban modernization in the area.
The streets received names of royal women in the 1830s-1840s, including Eleninskaya, Varvarinskaya, and Ekaterininskaya, reflecting imperial connections.
