History

The first written sources mentioning the place and its surroundings are related to weaving crafts in ancient Russia. Breytovo is mentioned on November 17, 1613, in a book of account of the crown.[1] On February 28, 1934, the village of Breytovo was officially reunited with the neighboring village of Zaruchye, all taking the name Breytovo.[2]

When the huge Rybinsk Reservoir was built, after the construction of the Rybinsk Dam (1935–1941), Breitovo was engulfed by the water and the houses were moved.[1]

Between 1986 and 1991, Breytovo had the status of an urban village.[3]

Breitovo is also known, as well as its surrounding villages, for having been the place of breeding from the beginning of the 20th century of a pig breed, Breitovo.
