TORZHOK

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 79 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TORZHOK , a town of
Russia
 , in the government of Tver, on the river Tvertsa, 21 M. by rail S.W. of the Likhoslavl, station of the St
Petersburg
  & Moscow railway. Pop. (Igloo), 15,119. It
dates
  from the 11th
century
 , and the name (market-place) shows that this dependency of
Novgorod
  was a commercial centre. It was fortified with a stone
wall
 , which only partially protected it from the attacks of Mongols, Lithuanians and Poles. Torzhok is celebrated in
Russia
  for its embroidered velvet and embroidered leather-
work
 , for the manufacture of travelling bags, and for its
trade
  in corn and flour.
