Ksnyatin was intended as a fortress to defend the Nerl waterway, leading to Yury's residence at Pereslavl-Zalessky, against Novgorodians. The latter sacked it on several occasions, before the Mongols virtually annihilated the settlement in 1239. After that, it belonged to the princes of Tver and was devastated by their enemies in 1288. By the 14th century, the neighbouring towns of Kalyazin and Kashin superceded it in importance. Since 1459, Ksnyatin was documented as a mere village. Its kremlin area and cathedral were flooded in 1939, when they created the Uglich Reservoir.
