History

In 1708, a factory for the production of elk leather uniforms was founded by Peter the Great. The village was around the factory called Losinaya Petrovskaya (Лосиная Петровская). The factory existed until 1858, when many other textile factories were created. In 1928, it was granted urban-type settlement status. In 1951, it was given town status.
