Kashira

Kashira ( _ru. Каши́ра) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Oka River some 115 km south of Moscow. Population: 40,100 (2005 est.); ru-census|p02=40898|p89=44110

Kashira was first mentioned in 1356 as a village of Koshira ( _ru. Кошира) named after the Koshira River (today's Kashirka River). However, 1619 is considered Kashira's foundation year, when the town was transferred from the left bank of the Oka to the right bank some 5 km upstream and rebuilt (it was badly damaged by the Crimean Tatars in 1592 and 1596).

The town was once home to exiled Kazan khan Ghabdellatif. The coat of arms of Kashira contains the image of Zilant, a heraldic symbol of Kazan.

Town status since 1777.
