history
Osjory emerged from the village of Oserki , whose name literally means “small lakes” and can in fact be explained by several smaller lakes in this flat area of the left bank of the Oka. The village was first mentioned in 1578. The place has been known by its current name since 1851 and at the same time became the location of several textile factories. In 1925 Osjory, now an important light industrial settlement, received city status.
