Yepifan, Historical settlement in Kimovsky District, Russia

Yepifan stands on the left bank of the Don River, 78 kilometers southeast of Tula, featuring the Neoclassical Cathedral of St Nicholas from 1850.

Prince Ivan Mstislavsky, cousin of Ivan the Terrible, established Yepifan in 1566 as a fortification against Crimean Tatar raids along the Great Abatis Border.

The settlement maintains annual fairs that date back to the 19th century, when it served as a center for regional trade and community gatherings.

The population decreased from 2,457 in 1989 to 2,237 in 2010, reflecting the demographic changes common in Russian rural settlements during this period.

Peter the Great selected Yepifan for the Ivanovsky Canal project, intended to connect the Volga and Don Rivers, though the waterway proved unsuitable for navigation.
