History

The settlement was presumably founded in the early 19th century. Before the administrative reforms, it belonged to Yaransk Uyezd of Vyatka Governorate. In the 1802 list of populated places of Vyatka Governorate, the village appears under the name Yuronga (Ustinskaya Volost, Yaransk Okrug): at that time it had 7 households and 38 male souls of yasak peasants.[1] According to the census of 1859–1873, it had 13 households, 53 men, and 58 women (111 residents), and the village belonged to Yaransk Uyezd.[1] The 1891 register records 39 families and 175 residents; the residents' main trade is given as rope-making.[1] The village's Mari name, Kugu-Yurmor, derives from the local river Yurmor (Yuronga).
