History

Originally known as Kozlov (Козло́в), it was founded in 1635 at the northern end of the emerging Belgorod Line.[citation needed] A 25-kilometer (16 mi) earthen wall was built eastward across the open steppe effectively blocking the Nogai Trail, a Tatar raiding route. The success of this line led to the building of further lines further south. The settlement was granted town status in 1779.[citation needed]

The town was renamed Michurinsk in 1932[citation needed] after Ivan Michurin, a practitioner of selection.[citation needed]
