History
In the end of the 19th century, the area where the settlement was currently located was occupied by the datcha (a summer estate) by Vladimir Rennenkampf. In 1882, the lands were given on lease to Vladimir Ronchevsky to build the Shlisselburg Gunpowder Plant, which started operation in 1883. Imeni Morozova developed as a settlement serving the plant. At the time, it belonged to Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate. In 1913, the governorate was renamed Petrograd. On February 14, 1923 Shlisselburgsky Uyezd was merged into Petrogradsky Uyezd. In January, 1924 the uyezd and the governorate were renamed Leningradsky.
In 1922, the gunpowder plant was renamed Imeni Morozova Plant, for Nikolay Morozov. The settlement was renamed as well, and it was administratively subordinated to the town of Shlisselburg.
