History
It was founded in the 12th century approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) from its present location. It was granted town status in 1777. During the Battle of Moscow in 1941, the town fell to the 2nd Panzer Group under Heinz Guderian on 24 November 1941. The short German occupation lasted until 9 December 1941, when Venyov was liberated by troops of the Western Front of the Red Army.
