history

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1573 as the village of Reutowo . According to some assumptions, the name of the place could be derived from the bell towers called reut , from which Moscow was once warned of approaching attackers from the east with bells.

In the 17th and 18th centuries the village belonged to the princely families Turenin, Dolgorukow and Maslow and was mainly characterized by agriculture. At the beginning of the 19th century the place went to the officer Andrei Pochwistnew, who had a textile factory built there in 1824. As a result, Reutowo developed into an industrial town from the 1820s onwards, which was expanded in the 1840s to include a brick factory owned by Moscow merchant Sergei Masurin and a working-class district. In 1913, a railway station was built in Reutowo on the route from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod . In 1928 Reutowo was declared a workers' settlement and in 1940 the city of Reutow.

In the second half of the 20th century, further industrial companies and research institutions emerged in Reutow, including in the field of mechanical engineering. In 2003, Reutow, as an important Russian research and development location , was given the status of a Naukograd , literally " City of Science".
