history

After the completion of the Smolensk –Bryansk railway line in 1868, Selzo was founded in 1876 as a settlement at the railway station of the same name. In the 1880s, the first industrial operations came into being in the village with a few wood processing and soap factories. Selzo experienced rapid population growth in the 1920s and 1930s because of the rural exodus of large parts of the village population during the times of collectivization . The rapid development of city-like residential areas resulted in Selzo becoming an urban-type settlement in 1938 .

In 1939 an artillery ammunition factory was built in Selzo. However, this did not last long in Selzo, because from October 1941 to September 1943 the place was occupied by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War . The ammunition factory was previously evacuated from here to Nizhny Tagil and Kopeisk .

In the post-war years, the city was gradually rebuilt with new residential areas and public facilities. In 1990 Selzo was declared a city.
