History
Bor was founded in the 14th century and was granted town status in 1938.[2]
In early 2008, the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast authorities were discussing the plans for constructing a futuristic "Globe Town" on the low Volga shore opposite Nizhny Novgorod, within Bor's town limits. In March 2008, the Italian architectural firm of Dante O. Benini was chosen as the main designer for the project.[9][10]
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with 300 rural localities, incorporated as the town of oblast significance of Bor—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, the town of oblast significance of Bor is incorporated as Bor Urban Okrug.[4]
