History
It was founded in 1915 as a settlement servicing a mechanical factory and initially had no name. After 1917, it was called Vozrozhdeniye (Возрожде́ние, lit. revival), Zagorsky (Заго́рский), due to its vicinity to Zagorsk (now Sergiyev Posad); and Krasnozavodsky (Краснозаво́дский). In 1940, it was granted town status and given its present name. On December 8, 1999, a part of Krasnozavodsk containing the research institute and the nearby settlement of Novostroyka were incorporated into the new town of Peresvet. The process was finalized on March 28, 2000.
