history

The place goes back to the Boris and Gleb monastery, which was founded there near the important city of Rostov in 1363 with the blessing of Sergius of Radonezh . The settlements that developed around the monastery were summarized as Borissoglebskije slobody (in the plural).

After secularization in the 18th century, the land of the monastery temporarily belonged to Grigory Orlov and the Panin family. Until the 19th century Borissoglebskije slobody developed into a regionally important trading center with an annual big fair around the Orthodox Boris and Gleb Memorial Day (July 24th).

On June 10, 1929 the place became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons. In 1962 it received the status of an urban-type settlement under its current name.
