history

Elektrogorsk thermal power station

Elektrogorsk was established at the beginning of the 20th century as part of the construction of the Elektrogorsk power plant , which was fueled by the peat which is abundant in the marshland in the area . This power plant, which was named Elektroperedatscha , was also the first of its kind in Russia and was to play a significant role in the electrification of the Moscow region. Today's Elektrogorsk was founded in 1912 as a workers' settlement for power plant construction personnel.

In 1921 the settlement already had over 4,500 inhabitants. Schools, hospitals and leisure facilities were built here, and in 1925 a railway branch line was moved here. The construction of the power plant enabled, among other things, the commissioning of the tram in nearby Bogorodsk in 1924.

In 1946 Elektrogorsk received city status.
