history

The present city was created in 1917 by amalgamating several communities into one city. The oldest of these villages was Sujewo, known since the early 13th century, where the entrepreneur Sawwa Morosow senior founded a silk manufacture in 1797 . In addition, the places Orechowo (known since the end of the 17th century), Nikolskoje and Dubrowka were incorporated into the new city. Even decades before the unification, this area was regarded as an important industrial center, not least thanks to the connection to the Moscow – Vladimir railway in 1861 . Already in 1890 there were 17 factories in Orechowo.

On June 3, 1917, the new place received city rights. 12 years later it became the administrative center of the newly formed Rajons of the same name . During the defense of Moscow in World War II , the industrial plants of Orechowo-Sujewos belonged to important weapons manufacturers, and there were several army hospitals in the city, which was spared from fighting.
