Zadonsk

Zadonsk is a town in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia. It is located at coord|52|23|29|N|38|54|59|E, 92 km south-west of Lipetsk, on the left bank of the Don River, from which it takes its name. Population: 10,200 (2005 est.).

The town originated in 1615 as a rural settlement near the walls of the Zadonsky (literally, "over-the-Don") monastery, founded in 1610 by several monks from the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow. The abbey became famous in the 1770s, when a miracle-working starets, St. Tikhon of Zadonsk, settled there. He died in 1783 and was buried in Zadonsk, which would prosper due to crowds of pilgrims who visited St. Tikhon's grave each year. It was incorporated as a town in 1783.
