History
The first population of this area was a Finnic tribe called the Meshchyora , later assimilated by Russians and Tatars . The town was founded in 1152 by the Vladimir-Suzdal ruler Yuri Dolgorukiy as Grodets, then Gorodets Meschyorsky ( Городец Мещёрский ). [ citation needed ] It was included in the Mishar Yurt division of the Golden Horde , but then was sold to Muscovy .
In 1376, the town was destroyed by the Mongol , but was soon rebuilt as Novy Nizovoy ( Новый Низовой ). After the Battle of Suzdal in 1445 (in which Grand Duke Vasily II was taken prisoner), the Meschyora lands were given to Oluğ Möxämmäd , Khan of Kazan Khanate as a ransom for the sovereign's life.
In 1452, Great Duke Vasily II of the Grand Duchy of Moscow gave this town to Kazan prince Qasim Khan , who served as tribute inspector of the Great Horde , but then came to Russian service. By other accounts, Qasim and his brother Yosif fled from Kazan after losing their bid for the throne against their brother Mäxmüd . After 1471, the town was known as Qasím city . It remained the capital of Qasim Khanate until 1681 when the khanate was re-absorbed into Russia.
A group of Tatars settled there in 15th century and are now known as Qasim Tatars . They speak the Mishar dialect, mixed with the Middle Tatar dialect of the Tatar language . In the 19th century, it became known for its waiters , who staffed many of the St Petersburg hotels. [12]
