History
It was first mentioned in the second half of the 16th century as an estate of Mikhail Vorotynsky. In 1779, it was granted town rights. At that time, it was known as Knyaginin (Княгинин); this name was used until 1917. In 1926, it was demoted to a rural locality (selo) status. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1968 and town status in 1998.
