On the site of the Ilyinsky church towering above the city of Teykovo (Ivanovo Region) (refers to architectural monuments of the 17th century), the remains of the pagan temple of Perun were found, which were dated to the late pre-Christian period.
The first written mention of the village of Teykovo dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. The Scribe books describe the peasant riots of 1613, 1618 and 1651, relating to the Time of Troubles. Since 1619, the settlement, which was then part of the Suzdal district, belonged to two noble families - F. I. Bosova and Princess A.G. Tyufyakina. Later it passed to the princely family of the Prozorovsky. The villagers at that time were already engaged in handicraft weaving and dyeing fabrics. In the center of the settlement was a trading area where fairs were held.
History and population
Beginning in the 17th century, Teykovo was known in the region for bidding twice a week. Merchants brought "small goods" from neighboring cities, and peasants traded in bread, wheat, peas, oats, flax, wheels, pots, bast and canvas. The volume of trade was almost equal to the city. In Teykovo (Ivanovo region) then lived about 2, 000 people.

Etymology of the name
There are several versions of the origin of the name of the city Teykovo (Ivanovo region). According to an authoritative scientist V.I. Dahl, the word has Finno-Ugric roots. "Teika" (Thai) means a forest settlement, a forest village, a deaf, but inhabited place in the forests. Local historian Yevgeny Smolin believes that during the Time of Troubles (1608-1612), the Poles established their temporary camp in these places. Which called the territory "fluid place", which in archaic Polish sounds like "tech."
Scientist E.M. Pospelov derives the name Teykovo from Teyka, one of the forms of the very rare female name Argentina, which is in the Dictionary of Russian Personal Names edited by N. A. Petrovsky. Many hydronyms and toponyms of the region are of Ugro-Finnish and Old Slavic origin, for example Vyazma (“winding”, “winding”), Lake Sakhtysh (“stormy”, “restless”, “boiling”, and “Tysh” - fish, rich in fish).
