Monino was formed by the name of the area Muninskaya
wasteland (survey sheet dated August 23, 1792). According to another
version, the history of the settlement can be traced back to a small
farm, owned by a certain Monin.
Based on the materials of the
All-Union census of 1926 - the Monino junction of the Oseevsky village
council of the Shchelkovo volost of the Moscow district, 4.5 km from the
Vladimir highway and next to the Monino station of the Northern Railway,
28 residents (22 men, 6 women) lived in 3 farms, with him there was wool
weaving factory.
In 1926, an airfield for heavy aircraft began to
be built here, and the first heavy bomber brigade began to equip itself.
The further history of the village is inextricably linked with aviation.

In 1939, 38
Spaniards from 180 pilot cadets were brought to the Monino rest house,
who arrived in the Soviet Union from Spain for training and, due to the
defeat of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, remained on the
territory of the USSR. In 1940, 8 of them were repressed and spent a
total of 8 years in Soviet labor camps. The rest of the cadets adapted
to life in the Soviet Union, they were provided with work and housing.
Until 1965, Monino was part of the Noginsk district. Until January
9, 2019, it was the center of the urban settlement of Monino as part of
the Shchelkovsky district.
The coat of arms of the village was approved on March 27, 1986 by decision No. 49/5 of the executive committee of the Moninsky village council of people's deputies of the Shchelkovsky district. In 1992, external frames were added to the composition of the coat of arms - a wreath and a crown.
Monino consists of two parts: a military camp (by order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 17, 2010 No. 349-r, it was excluded from the list of closed military camps, de facto opened on May 12, 2011, the access system was canceled), where the Air Force Academy named after. Gagarin, and a working town (open area) with a railway station.
The Air Force Academy named after Yu. A. Gagarin was located in Monino (until August 1, 2012). Currently, in its place is the Moscow Regional General Education Boarding School with initial flight training named after the three times Hero of the Soviet Union A. I. Pokryshkin, as well as municipal autonomous educational institutions "Secondary General Education Schools" (MAOU SOSH) No. F. Ya. Falaleeva, No. 2 im. S. I. Rudenko and No. 3 im. S. A. Krasovsky.
