According to tradition, local craftsmen have to collect all the vine necessary for making Souvenirs only for a few days in the fall, and products made from it are made all winter.
Historians say that the village should owe its name to its wife Khustsky voivodes of Isabelle. It was she who gave this village to the residents of the suburb of Gorodilov, which suffered from flooding. At first the village was called Isabelino. Over time, its name was shortened to”ISA”.
