History
It was founded in 1711 as the village of Dmitriyevka (Дми́триевка). After a church was built there, it became a selo and was renamed Dmitrovka (Дмитровка). It was granted town status in 1782, and renamed Dmitrovsk-Orlovsky (Дмитровск-Орловский) in 1929. During World War II, Dmitrovsk-Orlovsky was occupied by the German Army from October 2, 1941 to August 12, 1943 and administered as part of the so-called Lokot Autonomy. In 2005, it received its present name of Dmitrovsk.
