Tambov was founded in 1636 by the tsarist voivode Roman Boborykin as a fortress city to repel attacks by nomads and protect the southern possessions of the Muscovite state. These events in the history of the city are still evidenced by the remains of the so-called "Tatar shaft" - the Great zasechnaya line, part of the Belgorod and Simbirsk zasechnaya line, which once stretched from the Dnieper to the Volga, which served to repel the raids of the Nogais and Tatars and built in 1630-50- s
Tatarsky Val has been a worthy service in defense against the raids of the Nogai Tatars and Kalmyks in 1656 and 1660, as well as smaller raids steppe nomads. With his help, the attack of troops of Stepan Razin was repulsed in 1670 and the siege of ataman L. Hohlach was sustained in 1706.
Since the middle of the 17th century, with the advance of the borders of the Moscow State to the south, Tambov has lost the importance of a military fortress - from that time it develops as a center agrarian region. At first the city bears the status of the center of the Tambov province as part of the Azov and later Voronezh provinces, from 1779 it became the center of the Tambov governorship, and from 1796 the provincial center.
