History
It was founded in 1868 as a railway station on the Riga–Oryol railway. In the years that followed, a settlement grew around the Zhukovka station. In 1914, there were fewer than 2,000 inhabitants. During World War II, it was occupied by the Germans on August 24, 1941. Town status was granted to it in 1962.
