History
The urban-type settlement of Stakhanovo was founded in 1935 from the dacha settlement Otdykh (literally, "Relaxation"). It was named after Alexey Stakhanov, a Russian miner of the Stalinist era. On April 23, 1947, the settlement was granted town status and renamed Zhukovsky, in honor of scientist Nikolay Zhukovsky.
