Вешка[4] is a colloquial diminutive of the word веха, which means «a milestone»; a pole, pointed on one side, a branch that serves to indicate the path, boundaries of land plots, the layout of something on the terrain. Вёшка is an outdated and dialectic version of spelling and pronunciation, entrenched in the toponym.
In the area, there are two Eastern Orthodox churches — St. Varus' Church[5] at the exit from the highway to the Moscow Ring Road, on the territory of which the ecological park «On the unknown Mytishchi paths» is located, and the Church of Elijah the Prophet at the entrance to one of the neighboring NHPs in the northeast (both belonging to the Moscow Patriarchate), as well as the Stele in memory of the fallen soldiers, dedicated to the Great Patriotic War.
