History
The first settlement on the site was founded in 1924 in connection with a sawmill. The settlement was originally named Dalles (Дальлес), from the Russian word dalny for "distant" (referring to the Russian Far East) and les for "forest". In 1932, Dalles was merged with the nearby village of Novostroyka, granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Lesozavodsk. Lesozavodsk was granted town status in 1938.
