Barvikha Village
Better known is the village of the same name Barvikha, also located near the Rublevo-Uspensky highway, in the Odintsovo district of the capital region. In 2010, 4093 people lived in it.
The history of the name of the village and the village of Barvikha is as follows: in the 18th century, on the site of these modern settlements, there was a pine forest, called by the locals Oborikha or Oborvikha. Then the name was transformed into Borikhu, and in 1920 it was transformed into modern Barvikha.
The construction of the village began in the middle of the 19th century. Barvikha was founded by landowner general Alexander Kazakov, who was the owner of the nearby village of Podushkino. The settlement was built as a resort - a means of increasing the income of its owner.
Today, a number of luxury settlements are built around the village, which we will talk about later.
