History

It originated in 1615 as a settlement near the walls of the Zadonsky (literally, "over-the-Don") monastery, founded in 1610 by several monks from the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow. The abbey became famous in the 1770s, when a miracle-working starets Tikhon settled there. He died in 1783 and was buried in Zadonsk, which would prosper due to crowds of pilgrims who visited his grave each year. Zadonsk was granted town status in 1779.
