Tambov is the administrative centre of Tambov oblast (province), western Russia. It lies along the upper Tsna River. Founded in 1636 as a fortress on the Belgorod defensive line, in 1779 it became the centre of a province. Growth came slowly, chiefly in the late 19th century after construction of the Moscow-Saratov railway through the city.
