history
The place was first mentioned in 1147. In the 15th century local princes of Kromy were named as a branch line to the princes of Chernigov . They were friends with Lithuania and did not submit to Moscow at their fortress. In 1595 an Ostrog occupied by Cossacks was built in Kromy . In 1778 the place received city rights as the administrative seat of a Ujesd of the governorship, from 1796 of the Orjol governorate .
On February 11, 1924, the Ujesd was dissolved and Kromy lost its town charter and half of the population, but on July 30, 1928 it was again the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him.
During the Second World War , the place was captured by the German Wehrmacht on October 2, 1941 and liberated by the Red Army on August 6, 1943 as part of the Oryol Operation .
On December 20, 1957, Kromy received urban-type settlement status.
