History

The first permanent settlement in the area was Orborino, which was established in 1614 as a garrison to protect the local nobility's forest estates. The first true village, Zabornaya was founded in the year 1816, and was once again a noble possession. It developed a strong charcoal industry in the 1860's that lasted until the early 1890's. In the following decades, numerous smaller hamlets would appear around the growing town, many eventually becoming microdistricts. Eventfully, in 1930, Zabornaya and a few nearby hamlets were linked to the city of Perm and merged to form the work settlement of Zamask, which was then merged with the remaining rural hamlets on January 18, 1941, to form the modern city district of Kirovsky.
