The territory of the Shuisky municipal district was originally part of the so-called Rostov-Suzdal land, which in 1097 became a separate principality. Subsequently, from the Rostov-Suzdal land, as a result of specific crushing, 3 inheritances were formed, one of which - ours - Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod - included, among other things, Shuya with adjacent territories and existed until 1392, then becoming part of the Muscovite state.
The modern coat of arms of the Shuisky municipal district, entered in the State Heraldic Register under No. 1400, speaks in many respects about the antiquity of the Shuya lands: azure orb with gold decorations and a cross and ermine edge), and accompanied at the corners by four indirect gold trileaf crosses. The princely hat hints at the princes and boyars of the Shuiskys, whose fiefdom was this territory in the 14th century. Sokol - the coat of arms of Suzdal - speaks of the ancestral roots of the Shuiskys - the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal princes. The crosses symbolize 4 ancient monasteries located on the territory of the region (Nikolo-Shartomsky in Vvedenye, known since 1425, Holy Assumption and Annunciation in Dunilovo, Voskresensko-Feodorovsky in Sergeev).
The Shuya side has been associated with representatives of the reigning families for centuries. Relatives of one of the wives of Ivan the Terrible - Marfa Sobakina - owned the village of Ilinskoye or the Teleshovsky churchyard of the Shuisky district (although some historians dispute this fact), the first wife of Peter the Great lived, according to legend, in the Dunilovsky Annunciation Monastery, the village in this period of the early 18th century owned by her father Fyodor Lopukhin.
Shuya is one of the ancient cities of Russia, in Russian chronicles it is mentioned from late XIV century, although as a settlement, no doubt, it arose much earlier. There is reason to believe that Shuya already existed in the 13th century. and was part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality. Perhaps Shuya was among the fortress cities built on the lands of the principality at the direction of Grand Duke Yuri Vsevolodovich before the invasion of Batu. After its formation in 1350. Suzdal-Nizhny Novgorod principality, Shuya became part of it.
The earliest mention of Shuya is associated with Prince Vasily Kirdyapa, to whom it was given by Moscow Prince Vasily Dmitrievich. Kirdyapa's son, Yuri, became the founder of the famous family of the Shuisky princes, who played a significant political role in the middle of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Tsar Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky (reigned 1606-1610) belonged to this family. At the very beginning of the XV century. Shuya is the center of a small specific principality, which was ruled by the princes Shuisky. Later, Shuya was part of the Suzdal district for several centuries.
About the history of the city early XVII in. little is known. Among the main reasons for this is the loss of all ancient acts of Shuya in Time of Troubles, as well as the lack of archaeological research of the city. Only a few milestones in its development can be noted, dating back to the 16th century. A significant fact in the history of the city of this period is the ruin of Shuya by the Kazan Khan Safa-Giray in 1539, which is mentioned in the Nikon chronicle. During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, Shui in 1548 was given "for feeding" to the boyar I.B. Golokhvastov, and in 1565 Shuya and Teleshovskaya volost, among other 19 cities, were included in the oprichnina; The city was granted new lands. According to the spiritual charter of Ivan the Terrible, in 1572 Shuya was given into the possession of his son Fyodor.
So 2 quarter XVII in. the formation of Shuya as a fishing and trading city begins. This was greatly facilitated by the convenient geographical position on the navigable Teza River, which communicates with the Volga through the Klyazma and Oka, and the abundance of auxiliary crafts developing due to low soil fertility. Shipping on the Teza was first mentioned in 1614. Local merchants sent goods to all the lower Volga cities to Astrakhan, and from the Makarievskaya Fair, the largest in Russia in those years, which was held annually on the left bank of the Volga near the walls of the Makaryev Zheltovodsky Monastery (now the territory of the village of Makaryevo Nizhny Novgorod region), they returned with fish, salt, bread and other goods. In the Shuya Gostiny Dvor, which was mentioned already in 1629, in the middle of the 17th century. was the shop of an English trading company.
Soap making was the most ancient and one of the distinctive crafts for Shuya, and when the coats of arms of Russian cities were established in 1781, it was no coincidence that Shuya was given a coat of arms with a bar of soap. Highly approved on August 16, 1781, the original description of which reads:<Въ верхней части щита гербъ Владимiрскiй. Въ нижней - въ красномъ полh, брусъ мыла, означающiй славные находящiеся въ городh мыльные заводы>. The red color of the field of the coat of arms allegorically speaks of the eventful history of the Shuya land. In the pre-revolutionary period, only three emblems of the cities of the present Ivanovo region were approved in Russia: Kineshma, Lukh and Shuya.
In the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich, blacksmithing became the main craft business. Among Shui artisans in documents 2 half of XVII in. tanners, furriers, and rawhides are mentioned. In addition, in the XVII century. Shuya was one of the centers of the Suzdal school of icon painting. The origin of local icon painting, apparently, dates back to more ancient times, and its traditions were subsequently continued in the famous schools of Palekh and Kholuy. One of the Shui masters was the painter Gerasim Tikhonov, the son of Ikonnikov. It was he who, in 1654, painted the icon of the Shuya-Smolensk Mother of God, later recognized as miraculous (since the late 1930s, it is considered to have disappeared).
Under Peter I, small textile enterprises began to appear (in particular, those that made sails). Later, around 1755, the first linen manufactory was founded by the Shuya merchant Yakov Igumnov, and at the beginning of the reign of Catherine II, linen enterprises of the merchants Shilov, Kornilov, Nosov, and others appeared. late XVIII in. the textile industry has taken a leading place in Shuya's economy. In the 19th century Shuya became one of the most economically developed county towns. During this period, she firmly took one of the leading places in the textile industry in Russia.
In the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries Shuya was not only a large commercial and industrial center, but also distinguished by good amenities and quite high level education and culture. By the beginning of the XX century. Shuya is one of the largest cities in the Vladimir province. In terms of population, it was two to three times larger than such cities as Kovrov and Murom, and only slightly inferior to provincial Vladimir. Due to the growth of industry from 2 half of XIX in. by the beginning of the 20th century. Shuya had a developed textile industry and a numerous working class, which, for the most part, did not break with the countryside. In 1918, the Ivanovo-Voznesenskaya province was formed, where the city of Shuya moved, since 1929 Shuya became the regional center of the Ivanovo region.
Currently, Shuya is an exceptionally interesting city in Central Russia in terms of architecture and urban planning ensemble. Rarely preserved buildings of the 18th-early 20th centuries. brought to our days the atmosphere of a Central Russian merchant city.
