history

The place Romodanowo has existed at least since the first half of the 16th century and was first mentioned in 1622 under its current name, which goes back to the then owner from the noble family Romodanowski. From 1780 the village belonged to Ujesd Schischkejew of the governorship of Penza , after its dissolution in 1797 briefly to the governorate of Simbirsk . With the establishment of the Penza governorate in 1801 Romodanowo came to their Ujesd Saransk. The village developed into a local trading center and became the seat of a Volost . With the construction of the nearby railway line ( Moscow  -) Ryazan  - Kazan in the 1890s and the construction of a line from there to Nizhny Novgorod from 1903 , the economic importance continued to grow.

In the 1920s, the station and the surrounding settlement were renamed Krasny Usel (“ Red Knot”) with an ideological background ; however, the village kept its old name. In 1928 it became the seat of a newly formed Rajons named after him. On September 6, 1958, the village, the station settlement Krasny Usel, the settlement MTS (" machine-tractor station ") and the village Torbejewo were combined to form the urban-type Romodanowo.

Since January 20, 2013 the place has the status of a rural settlement.
