Title:
Plan of the town of Lugan’, Orlov Province
Subject:
urban history
Description:
The plan is humble and scant, and this makes sense: Lugan was called into existence in 1778. What one day had been a small settlement became a "town" overnight. The transformation lasted only four years. By 1782 it was a village once more and even that seems to have been a stretch: its diminutive population left during the Second World War.
