It was founded as the sloboda of Mechetnaya (Мечетная) in 1764 by Old Believers who returned from Poland.[citation needed] In 1835, it was granted town status and renamed Nikolayevsk (Никола́евск), after the Tsar Nicholas I.[citation needed] In 1918, it was renamed after Yemelyan Pugachev, leader of the Cossack insurrection of the 1770s.[citation needed]
