The village of Troitsa was founded in 1591 and is located 65 km northeast of the district center, on the banks of the Black Holunitsa River, along the road to the Verkhnekamsk district. The settlement arose on the "black portage," along the road to Kai and further to Siberia, thanks to the establishment of a small monastery here in the late 16th century. The villagers, located about half a verst from the monastery, prayed in the monastery churches or traveled on pilgrimages to neighboring villages. In 1619, a parish was organized here, including 14 settlements. The first wooden church was consecrated in the name of the Holy Trinity. The expansion of the parish in the wooded sparsely populated area was slow. By 1745, when the number of households increased to 27, the village church closed due to dilapidation, and the monastery church became the parish church, serving until the fire of 1787. The parish was temporarily closed, and the peasants were assigned to the Ivanets Zosimo-Savvatievsky Church. In September 1790, G. Kozlov from the Voroninsky settlement went to Vyatka with a request to allow the construction of a new wooden church. Soon it was built, retaining the old name and adding a warm chapel in the name of Saints Basil the Great, John Chrysostom, and Gregory the Theologian. However, on July 16, 1802, this church burned down. Only with the construction of a stone church in the early 1800s did the parishioners, whose number reached 400 people and the number of households 56, find stability.
By the beginning of the second decade of the 20th century, the parish of the Trinity Church included 13 settlements, and the number of parishioners exceeded 800 people. The village had three wooden chapels: in the Voroninsky settlement in the name of Florus and Laurus, in the Rychkovsky settlement in the name of Nicholas the Wonderworker, and in the Maximovsky settlement in the name of Macarius of Unzha. The village had a parish church school, opened in 1890, and solid houses for the clergy built in the mid-19th century.
Sources indicate the small number of residential households in the village throughout its history. In the list of populated places from 1859-1873, the village of Holunitsa Troitskaya had only 2 households with 7 men and 6 women. However, up to a dozen houses were used as post stations and inns serving the Kai tract and the river crossing. A sharp increase in population began only in the mid-20th century, associated with timber harvesting and the development of the social sphere.
The Troitsky Holunitsa-Verkhovyatsky Men's Monastery was founded by Elder Guriy, who received a royal charter for his possessions in 1591. The first builder of the monastery was the abbot Euphemiy. According to the watch book of 1599-1600, the desert had a mill on the Byche River, forest lands up to the Ivanets River and the Black Holunitsa, and a fishing area from the Solenaya River to the Vysokovsky Lake. In 1615, the location of the monastery was designated as "on the Vyatka portage, on the Little Holunitsa River, 100 versts from the city of Slobodskoy." The 1629 census indicates the presence of two churches and other wooden buildings, as well as 5 villages and 7 settlements. In 1662, the desert had 30 peasant households, in 1654 there were 50, and by 1725, when the monastery was closed, there were 104 households and about 400 peasants. The monastery staff was transferred to Slobodskoy, but soon the status of the monastery was restored, and it operated until the secularization of 1764. The census book of Slobodskoy district in 1748 reported that the monastery owned the Zaogorodnaya sloboda, the Ivanets village, and 13 other villages.
