From our in-house historian

Gorod osnovan v XIII veke I proslavilsja blagodarja upravlavshej zdes mudroj knjagine-monahine Anne Kashinskoj. K nej priezzhali sovetovat’sja knjazja iz drugih gorodov Rusi. V XV veke Annu Kashinskuju objavili svjatoj, no v XVII veke oficialnaja Cerkov zapretila ej molitsja, t. k. ona byla ochen populjarna u raskolnikov (staroobrjadcev). Tolko v XIX veke ee opjat provozglasili svjatoj.

V gorode I vozle nego – samye chistye rodniki centra Rossii, saaja poleznaja pitjevaja voda.
