In the XVIII century it was used for holidays and festivals , where during the reign of Nicholas the first every year on July 1 celebrated the birthday of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. On this meadow always gathered a large number of people , there was a parade of cavalry , arranged fireworks and all who came were served free treats. The name "Oil meadow" has survived to the present time, and the tradition to organize a folk festival existed before the revolution of 1917.
