Center of the diocese-the city of Uvarovo

Uvarov's diocese has got its name from the city of Uvarovo located on the right Bank of the Crow river (don basin) to one hundred eighteen kilometers from Tambov, and is its administrative centre.

According to the archives of the village Uvarovo was founded in 1699.
