In the late XIX – early XX cc. a one-house village was located on the foreland of the western shore of Mozhguba bay, which divides the northern tip of Kizhi Island into two parts resembling a cancer claw. Old residents of the island still remember the huge house of rich family of Morozov. The house was dismantled only in 1950s. This settlement has been recorded in documents since 1582. There was just one farmstead in the village at that time. In the middle of the XVII century the settlement grew to 3 farmsteads.
In 1822 farmer V.Morozov moved to the village from the island of Volkostrov. The new name of the village came from the name of this person.
In 1877 there were 2 horses, 5 cows, and 1 sheep in the only farmstead of the village. The family of Morozov lived in a huge house, beside which a granary was located. In the late XIX – early XX the family of Morozov richly donated to Kizhi churches. In 1856 Ivan Morozov, who lived in Saint Petersburg at that time, together with farmer Vavilin from the village of Telyatnikovo donated the icon of Dormition of the Mother of God from the capital to the Church of the Transfiguration. That was a grand carved gilded icon case to match the case of the icon of All-Merciful Savior that stood at the right choir-place. In the very end of the XIX century widow Stepanida Morozova donated 1000 silver rubles. The Morozovs’ house was dismantled in 1950s.
