history

The place was first mentioned in the 14th century as the center of a local princedom of the same name, which emerged as a result of the collapse of the Chernigov principality . In 1407 it came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania , after the Russo-Lithuanian War of 1487–1494 finally to the Grand Duchy of Moscow . In the middle of the 16th century, the Odojew principality ceased to exist as a relatively independent unit.

The place Odojew received the town charter on September 10, 1777 as the administrative seat of a Ujesd of the same name of the Tula governorate (from 1796 Tula governorate ). On June 20, 1924, the Ujesd was converted into a smaller Rajon in terms of area, and the place was downgraded to a village (selo) on February 22, 1926 under the name Odojewo .

During the Second World War , Odojewo was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from October 28 to December 22, 1941 . On December 11, 1959, the place was given the status of an urban-type settlement under its original name.
