Kurmysh () is a rural locality (a selo) in Pilninsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia. It is located over east of Nizhny Novgorod. Population:
==History== Kurmysh was founded in 1372 when Prince Boris Konstantinovich of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal ordered its establishment on the Sura River ("постави город на Суре Курмыш нарече"). It was the easternmost Russian settlement for almost two centuries and it helped to consolidate Russian influence in the Volga region. As a result, it bore the brunt of attacks from the east.
