Two estates at Zalino
A. V. Shitkov describes two estates belonging to branches of the Kaznakov family, about 100 metres apart. Later owners named include Alexey Gennadyevich Kaznakov and Konstantin Ivanovich Khokhlov. The local-history account of the park associates its creation with Maria and Konstantin Khokhlov and gives the year 1894.
Local-history account of the park
The transfer of the properties to Zhukova and Pleskovskaya and their correspondence with the present park are unestablished. The current protected-area boundary is not treated as the historic estate boundary.
