History
At the Yegoshikha river there was an oldest mentioned settlement at the territory of Perm city, described in the Prokopiy Elizarov census book in 1647. This settlement was later mentioned as Yegoshikha Village. In 1723, after the copper deposit was discovered there, the Yegoshikha Copper Factory was founded at the bank of Yegoshikha by Vasily Tatishchev, a chief manager of Ural factories. The workers' settlement had later become the Perm city.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
