Kimry is a town in the south of Tver Region.

The ancient town of Kimry is located on the high bank of the Volga River at the confluence with the Kimrka River.

The history of Kimry is interesting and curious. The town was known as Kimra until the beginning of the 20th century; the name is probably of Finnic or Baltic origin.

It was first mentioned in 1546 as a busy shoemaking and trading village on the left bank of the Volga (a boot appears on the town's coats of arms).
