history

The place was first mentioned as a village in 1620 (according to other sources as early as 1552 in connection with the Moscow-Kazan wars ). His name is related to the Vorotynski family, which died out at the end of the 17th century. Worotynez belonged to the Ujesd Wassilsursk of the Nizhny Novgorod governorate from the 18th century , and from 1923 to the newly formed Ujesd Lyskowo .

With the dissolution of the Ujesde in 1929 Worotynez became the administrative seat of a rajon named after him. In November 1964, the place received urban-type settlement status.
