Bogorodsk has existed since 1570. The town owes its creation to around 300 settlers from Nizhny Novgorod who were disgraced by Ivan the Terrible and exiled there. At first the village was called Bogorodizkoje or Bogoroditschnoje , derived from Bogorodiza (=  Mother of God ). Leather processing developed in the village later, and further handicrafts were added from the 17th century. Bogorodsk only received city status in 1923.
