History

It was first mentioned in 1339 as the village of Pavlovo or Vokhna in the spiritual charter of Ivan Kalita. It was the patrimony of Prince Dmitry Donskoy.

 

In the 19th century

During the Patriotic War of 1812, the Vokhonsky volost was one of the centers of the partisan movement against Napoleonic troops: in the area of ​​present-day Pavlovsky Posad, a battle took place between French units and local peasants under the leadership of the peasant G. M. Kurin, volost elder E. S. Stulov and Sotsky I. Ya. Chushkina. In memory of those events, the Military Historical Patriotic Club “Vokhon Warrior” has been conducting a large-scale historical reconstruction of the “Battle of Vokhon” since 2002.

According to the highest order of June 2, 1844, the settlement was formed from five villages. The corresponding decree to the Governing Senate, signed by Tsar Nicholas I, contained the following text: “Having considered it useful, according to the proposal of the Minister of Internal Affairs, considered in the State Council, to teach the residents of the village of Vokhny and four adjacent villages: Zakharov, Melenki, Usov and Dubrova, which are part of the Moscow province in Bogorodsky district, new conveniences for the spread of trade and manufacturing industry, WE COMMAND: the said villages be renamed into a settlement under the general name of Pavlovsk, allowing the residents of these villages to join, whoever they wish, in the rank of petty bourgeois or to declare merchant capital.”

In May 1845, the grand opening of Pavlovsky Posad took place. Subsequently, the villages of Gorodok, Kornevo, Prokunino, Filimonovo, Stepurino became part of the settlement. A major role in obtaining the status of a posad by these villages was played by the large Bogorodsk manufacturer of silk and paper fabrics in the village of Vokhna, hereditary honorary citizen D.I. Shirokov and the head of public self-government of Bogorodsk I.S. Labzin. The governor of the Moscow province I.V. Kapnist personally came to Pavlovo to participate in the opening ceremony of the settlement and signed the corresponding act.

Since the 1860s, Pavlovsky Posad was part of the Ignatievskaya volost, formed after the zemstvo reform of Alexander II as part of the 2nd camp of the Bogorodsky district; in 1890 it included 2 villages, 36 hamlets, 3 churchyards and a factory. The volost existed until 1929. Its center was first the village of Ignatyevo, and since 1921 - the city of Pavlovsky Posad. According to the 1926 census, the Pavlovo-Posad volost included 94 settlements and 35,394 residents.

 

In the 20th century

In 1908, the Society for the Propagation of Education was opened in Pavlovsky Posad. Its chairman was Fyodor Grigorievich Krasnov (1874-1941), owner of a silkworm factory and merchant of the Second Guild. On the initiative of F. G. Krasnov and priest A. G. Voskresensky, the construction of the Real School began in 1910, which opened on September 1, 1911. The work was supervised by the architect Salambek and the engineer Palenbach. Only boys were trained. People who glorified the city studied here - Ivan Nikolaevich Rusinov, Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Tikhonov and many others. Currently, Lyceum No. 2 is named after People's Artist V.V. Tikhonov.

During the Great Patriotic War, the city was located in the rear. The names of Heroes of the Soviet Union L. A. Berdichevsky, F. A. Poletaev, P. D. Dmitriev, E. A. Lobanov, V. V. Markov, M. I. Stepanov, I. P. Shitikov were associated with Pavlovsky Posad , K. M. Kudryashova, I. M. Fedorova, A. I. Shatokhina, A. S. Potapova, F. A. Torgovtseva, I. F. Peskova, M. M. Yuryev, full holders of the Order of Glory V. M. Goryacheva, F. F. Solomatina, N. A. Guseva, G. M. Khaeva.

Pavlovo Posad land can rightfully be considered the birthplace of space explorers. The first deputy chief designer S.P. Korolev V.P. Mishin, deputy chief designer L.A. Voskresensky and cosmonaut No. 5 V.F. Bykovsky were born in the city and region.

For the anniversary of the city in 1984, the poet A. Poperechny and composer P. Aedonitsky wrote the song “Pavlovsky Posad”, which was performed by Pavel Babakov. It has become, in some way, the anthem of this locality.

From 1935 to 1955, the Pavlovo Posad Artificial Millstone Plant operated in the city. The enterprise was under the jurisdiction of Rosglavmukomol of the Ministry of Food Industry. The main type of production is millstones.
