history

A square in the center of Vysokovsk

Vysokovsk was built near a textile factory built in 1877, which was already the largest of its kind in the Klin area at the beginning of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, the settlements Vysokoye and Novy Bazaar were established adjacent to the factory , which were merged in 1928 to form a workers' settlement called Vysokovsky . The factory, which was nationalized after the October Revolution , and the settlement were expanded considerably in the 1930s. In 1939 Vysokovsky became the administrative center of Vysokovsk Rajons (dissolved again in 1957), and a year later it received city status.

In the Battle of Moscow during World War II, Vysokovsk was under German occupation in early December 1941 and was badly damaged in fighting. In the 1950s, the city was rebuilt and in 1960 a neighboring settlement was added.
