Tomsk area

Contemporary territory of the Tomsk region presents a small, but at the same time the most populated part of the former Tomsk district. Once a stockaded town of Tomsk towered above the uninhabited valley of the strange river among scanty settlements of eushtin and chat tatars. Ñloseness of the city and presence of the advanced transport roads determined historical role of the region near the river Tom.
