History
Vasily Naryshkin founded the settlement of Truyovo on the river Truyov in 1699. It became known as Truyovo-Voskresenskoe and then as Naryshkino. An ukaz of Catherine II renamed the village Kuznetsk in November 1780.
During the Soviet era the Duvanny Ravine was used as a place of execution and burial between 1918 and the 1930s. In 1997 a commemorative wooden cross was erected there.
