Kamyzyak village arose in 1560 at the fishing harbor, which in the middle of the XVII century, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich gave the princes Kurakin. Convenient location and rich catches allowed the princes Kurakin to develop a wide entrepreneurial activity.
The catch of fish was so great, that these places were called "Golden bottom". At Kamyzyak Uchug there was a wooden church of the Blessed Virgin of Smolensk with a chapel for St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
