Varzuga (rural locality)
Varzuga (Template:Lang-ru) is the rural locality (a selo) in Tersky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located on the Varzuga River.
First mentioned in 1466, Varzuga, along with Umba, is the first documented permanent Russian settlement on the Kola Peninsula.[1]
An 1850 Pomor izba located in the village was formerly considered to be a heritage site of federal importance, but was excluded from the list in 1997.[2]
In 1861, Varzuga was a part of Kemsky Uyezd of Arkhangelsk Governorate.[3] It had three Orthodox churches and housed its own rural government.[3] The population was 249 (120 male and 129 female); living in 54 homesteads.[3]
