Far east jew place

From times immemorial in territory of Priamurye not numerous independent tribes (the Daurs, Duchers, Tunguses) lived. They lived according to patrimonial and tribal laws, mainly on river valleys, especially on banks of the Amur River and its tributaries. Since the middle of the 17th century gradual penetration of the Russians in Priamurye began. "Military and industrial people, executing tsar's will, discovered new and new lands". Before them the aim of new places discovering with not tolled population, "the taking them under high and strong tsar's hand" was put.

History of settlement of the territory of the Jewish Autonomous Region is closely connected with history of settlement of grounds along the Amur River. It began with the campaign of Vassily Poyarkov, who in June, 1644 boated the Amur River from the Khingan River up to the Tunguska River, made a list to the rivers, and informed that "those lands are crowded, full of bread and sables, and there are a lot of other animals, and those rivers are full of fish". The campaigns of Yerofey Khabarov and his fellows strengthened Russian influence in Priamurye and began the joining of these lands and population to Russia. Soon these places were occupied by people of any estates - fugitive Cossacks, free industrialists, peasants, and Raskolniks ...

However in the 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century this rich country remained rough. Its further developing is connected with the name of the governor-general of East Siberia count Muravyov-Amurskiy. Understanding, that the Far East without the navigable Amur River, and Siberia - without an outlet to the ocean are doomed on vegetation, he concluded the Aigun (1858) and Beijing (1860) treaties with the Chinese party, having solved "the Amur problem". A considerable role in the joining of Priamurye to Russia Nevelskoy captain played, who had taken possession of the Amur firth and had opened outlet to the Pacific Ocean for Russia by that.

In December 1858 by highest command it was authorized to establish the Amur Cossacks army for protection of the southeast boundary of Siberia and communication on the rivers of Amur and Ussury. It included settlers from Transbaikalia. In 1858-1882, 63 settlements were founded, including in 1857 - Raddeh settlement; in 1858 - Pashkovo, Pompeyevka, Puzino, Yekaterino-Nikolskoye, Mikhailo-Semyonovskoye, Voskresenovka, Petrovskoye, and Ventzelevo settlements; in 1860 - Storozhevoye, Soyuznoye, and Golovino settlements; in the 60s of the 19th century - Babstovo, Bidzhan, and Bashurovo settlements. The development of new grounds was promoted by expeditions of scientists - geographs, ethnographers, naturalists, botanists: Venyukov, Shrenk, Maksimovich, Raddeh, Komarov. Their gains composed the first detailed "map of the Amur land".

In 1898 the structure of a railway path from Chita up to Vladivostok began. Builders were to meet halfway. These works caused large afflux of new settlers and foundation of new settlements. In 1908 on the map Volochayevka, Obluchye, and Bira stations appeared; in 1910 - Birakan, Londoko, In stations; in 1912 - Tikhonkaya station. The most serious event during the construction of the Eastern part of the Amur railway was the construction of the 2600-meter bridge across the Amur River at Khabarovsk city, which putting in October, 1916 meant actual completion of construction of the railway turnpike.

In pre-revolutionary period local inhabitants farmed in general. The only industrial enterprise was Tungusskiy timber mill, gold was mined in the Sutara River, and there were some small-sized railway workshops.

During the civil war the territory of the future region became arena of severe fights. The economy has come in decline. It's restoring proceeded up to 1926-1927.
