history
The place was first mentioned in 1888 as a village in Ujesd Makarjew of the Kostroma governorate . From 1917 it belonged to the short-lived Ujesd Kowernino , from 1922 to Ujesd Jurjewez . On January 25, 1935, Sokolskoye became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons of Ivanovo Oblast named after him . Sokolskoye has been an urban-type settlement since 1938.
On February 3, 1994, Sokolskoye and the entire Raion were transferred to the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, to which it had better infrastructural and economic connections since the Gorkier Reservoir was flooded in the 1950s.
As part of the municipal administrative reform in Russia, Sokolskoje became the only locality of the municipality (gorodskoje posselenije) Rabotschi possjolok Sokolskoje. On June 2, 2014, all municipalities of the Raion - at this point in time after previous restructuring, three rural municipalities (selskoje posselenije) in addition to the city municipality - were dissolved and the Raion was converted into an urban district with its seat in Sokolskoje.
