2 In 1683 on the shore of the Syzran river not far off from the place of its fall into the Volga river rose a fortress. The fortress got its name after the river Syzran. It was founded to defend the southern approaches to the Samarskaya pommel with its rich saltworks and fishing. Becides a lot of robbers looked upon this region as their own private domain. And the Samara governors had to send the armed forces there. The emblem of Syzran is a black bull on the golden field.

3 The waters of the Volga were rich in fish: white sturgeons, sterlets and rare forms of salmon. New settlements were founded not far from the fortress: Ilinskaya and Pokrovskaya across the Krymza river and a little bit later- Preobrazhenskaya across the Syzran river. There were here the merchants and craftsmen, who were being written in the settlement and settled closer to the fortress walls.

4 After the fire of 1906 that destroyed almost all wooden buildings, building of stone were build of the town. Merchants played a great part in this work. At that time the first church was built. Today this is our central church called The Kazan Cathedral.

5 In 1917 the Great October Revolution took place in our country. A lot of workers of Syzran took part and lost their lifes in the revolution. Nowadays we can see a monument in Kuznecky Park in honour of those who served our town.

6 The Heavy Machinery Building plant is developing a number of products nowadays. Recently they have established relation ship with some plant in Czech republic.

7 A lot of objects are being built in Syzran today : a stadium, clubs, some departments stores. The citizens are proud of our football team Syzran 2003 who won an excellent victory.
