History

Kumar, present-day Huma, was a fortified Russian town in the Amur river region, founded in 1652 by Yerofey Khabarov and his fellow, during his retreat from Achansk corresponding to the present-day Khabarovsk, where he was besieged by Manchus and Daurs allied forces.
In March 13th 1655, the Komar fortress, defended by the ataman Onifrij Stepanov and his 500 Cossacks, was besieged by a Qing army led by Mingandali (Sinicized : 明安达理) consisting of 10,000 men. The outnumbered defenders repulsed several assaults. The defeated Manchu lift the siege the following month (on April 3rd 1655).The town was ceded to Qing Empire after the treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689.
