My native city Kurgan

1. Hello guys, I’d like to say about my native city called Kurgan

It is believed that the city was founded in 1679 by Timothy Nevezhin,
who felled a hut on the bank of the Tobol near the ancient burial
mound. On the picturesque bank of the river and the fertile land the
first settlers were drawn. Soon grew a prison and a settlement. The first
name is Tsarevo Gorodishche - the settlement received a burial mound
on the Tsar's Hill. In the XX century, the mound was opened by an
expedition led by the Ural archaeologist Konstantin Salnikov. It was
established that the mound belongs to the III-IV centuries AD. e., was a
grave, which was first plundered soon after the burial and to our time,
almost nothing left

The climate of the city is temperate, by general
characteristics it refers to the temperate continental
(transitional from moderately continental to sharply
continental), characterized by features peculiar to the
forest-steppe zone of the entire Southern Urals (with a cold
little snowy winter and hot, dry summers). The Ural
mountains, preventing the passage of moist air masses,
enhance the continentality of the climate. A characteristic
feature of the climate is inadequate hydration with
periodically recurring aridity
