Tutayev is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia. Population:HistoryBefore 1918, it was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk, and before 1822, when an order of the Tsar united them, there were two separate towns: Romanov and Borisoglebsk . Romanov has existed since the 14th century and Borisoglebsk—since the 15th century. In the 15th century, Romanov was ruled by the khans of Nogay Horde.OverviewThe majority of the population lives on the right bank of the river . The areas of town nearest to the Volga's right bank have many old wooden houses and historical buildings, but further away from the river, Soviet-era apartment buildings predominate. There is no bridge across the Volga in Tutayev, so people have to use a ferry or, alternatively, travel north to Rybinsk or south to Yaroslavl to cross.Administrative and municipal statusWithin the framework of administrative divisions, Tutayev serves as the administrative center of Tutayevsky District, even though it is not a part of it.
