History
editThe exact origins of Morshansk are unknown; however, documents mention a populated place in this location since at least the 16th century.[citation needed] Formerly a village called Morsha (Морша), it was granted town status in 1779 by Catherine the Great because of its growth in relation to the fact that it was a major bread trading center on the Tsna River.[citation needed]
