In the last century there was a countryside here.On the territory of Moscow there were only Yamskoe Pole, Petrovsky Park and Butyrskaya Sloboda. The border between the zemstvo and the city passed first along Skakova Street, and then along the Pegovsky Lane. The modern Northern Administrative District is located on a territory that has never been a single entity. The local villages belonged to four different volosts. Most of them were small. In them lived one hundred-two hundred people. The only industrial enterprise was a weaving factory.
