History

History first records the village of Butyrka in the 14th century, on the road from Moscow north to Dmitriv (that road is now Butyrskaya Street running up the western border of the district.)[5] The village eventually came into the possession of boyar Nikita Romanovich Zakharin, the grandfather of Tsar Michael I. The farming area gradually developed as a soldier's settlement, then as a fashionable residential area after 1812.[5] After WWII, the area developed with blocks of apartment buildings.
