Kashira () is a town and the administrative center of Kashirsky District in Moscow Oblast, located on the Oka River south of Moscow. Population:
==History== It was first mentioned in 1356 as the village of Koshira () named after the Koshira River (today's Kashirka River). However, 1619 is considered Kashira's foundation year, when the town was transferred from the left bank of the Oka to the right bank some upstream and rebuilt after it was badly damaged by the Crimean Tatars in 1592 and 1596.
