history

The place was first mentioned as a village in the 14th century. In 1429 it was burned down by a Mongolian force, as were other cities in the region ( Kineschma , Pljos , Kostroma ). In 1778 the Luch, which grew again in particular from the 17th century, received city rights as the administrative seat of a Ujesd of the Kostroma governorship. When it was converted into a governorate in 1796, the place lost its administrative function, but remained a city until the 1920s.

On January 25, 1935, Luch became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. In 1959 the place was given the status of an urban-type settlement.
