Yaroslavl became the first Christian city on the Volga, the date of foundation is considered to be 1010. According to legend, Prince Yaroslav Vladimirovich, traveling around the possessions, met a pagan tribe on the site of modern Strelka. Hostile strangers set a bear on Yaroslav, whom he defeated with his spear. Only then did they express their submission to the prince, and he ordered the establishment of a city with a fortress in this place. An interesting fact is that Yaroslavl has never changed its name since its foundation.
