History
The town was founded as Lyudinka (Russian: Людинка) in 1880, in connection with the start of logging in the region. In 1918 it was designated as a rural centre in Bryansky Uyezd, and since 1929 it has been the administrative centre of Kletnyansky District. In 1935 it was granted the status of an urban-type settlement.
During the Great Patriotic War the forests in the region were one of the centers of the partisan movement. On 28 June 2012 the town was awarded the honorary title "Settlement of Partisan Glory" by the regional government.
