History
At its peak, Churaevka had a printing press used by Russian and Ukrainian scholars and novelists. A new meetinghouse for the Southbury Ecclesiastical Society was built in 1733, and in 1787 the town of Southbury was incorporated. Southbury remained as a rural farming town for most of its history. The lawsuit was thrown out in 1993 based on the fact that the man who brought the suit was not a chieftain, contrary to his claims, and had no standing to bring the suit. As the industrial revolution progressed, many of these businesses left for Waterbury, Connecticut In the 1920s, Russian expatriates Count Ilia Tolstoy, son of author Leo Tolstoy, and George Grebentschikoff founded an artists' colony at the end of Main Street, known as Churaevka (or Russian Village).
