At first glance, Sharya seems like a distant provincial town, but there is still something attractive about it. The city owes its birth to the railway, which was put into operation in 1906. And a year later a station, a water pumping station, a school, a hospital and the first residential buildings appeared here. The station, located 701 km from Moscow, received its name in honor of the small Sharinka River, a tributary of the Vetluga. And in 1938, the workers’ settlement, in which 12 thousand people already lived, acquired the status of a city.

The Great Patriotic War had a serious influence on Sharya. Firstly, every third of its residents died at the front - more than 8 thousand people. Secondly, trains with evacuated residents of besieged Leningrad stopped at the local station. Not everyone survived the difficult journey in the heated vehicles: hundreds of Leningraders found peace in the city cemetery.
