Kolomna (, ) is a historic city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, situated at the confluence of the Moskva and Oka Rivers, (by rail) southeast of Moscow. Population:
==History== Mentioned for the first time in 1177, Kolomna was founded in 1140–1160 according to the latest archaeological surveys. Kolomna's name may originate from the Old Russian term for "on the bend (in the river)", especially as the old city is located on a sharp bend in the Moscow River. In January 1238, Kolomna was destroyed by a Mongol invasion. In 1301, Kolomna became the first town to be incorporated into the Moscow Principality.
