history

On July 15, 1915, seven kilometers from the Moscow-Yaroslavl railway line, an ammunition factory was founded, which a few years later played an important role in supplying the Red Army in the Russian Civil War . In 1916 a workers' settlement was built at the factory, initially without a name of its own. After 1917 the place was named Sagorski (after the nearby town of Sagorsk, today's Sergiyev Posad), Posyolok pri zavode № 11 ("Settlement at Plant No. 11"), Wosroschdenije ("Resurrection"), Lesnoi (approx "Forest settlement") and from 1939 Krasnosawodski (about "red factory settlement"). In 1940 city rights were granted under the current name. The factory was expanded several times and is now called the Krasnosavodsk Chemical Plant .

In 2000, part of the Krasnosavodsk urban area, the Novostroika settlement ("new building"), was spun off and has existed since then as an independent city called Peresvet .
