The settlement arose at the Borisoglebsky Monastery, founded by the
monk Theodore who came from the Novgorod land and later joined him by
Paul with the blessing of Sergius of Radonezh in 1363. Behind the
settlement, the name of the sub-monastery Borisoglebsky settlements was
established.
The monastery existed until the abolition in 1924.
During the Soviet period, various institutions of the district center
were located in the buildings of the monastery - a post office, a branch
of the State Bank, warehouses of organizations for the preparation of
flax and grain, as well as a museum. The buildings of the monastery, as
components of a significant monument of history and culture, are under
state protection.
In 1764, in the course of secularization, the
settlements from the possession of the monastery were transferred to the
jurisdiction of the College of Economy, and then in 1772 they were
granted by Catherine II to her favorite, Count G. G. Orlov. Since 1843,
the Borisoglebsky settlements have been the property of the Counts
Panins.
By decision of the village society of Borisoglebsky
settlements at the end of the 19th century, a common holiday was
established in the village on January 13 (on the day of memory of
Irinarch the Recluse). It was celebrated with a divine liturgy, a prayer
service to a saint, the day was a non-working day.
In the 19th
century, Borisoglebsky Sloboda was a large trading village in the Rostov
district of the Yaroslavl province, the center of the Borisoglebsk
volost. On the feast of St. Boris and Gleb, a significant fair for the
Yaroslavl province was traditionally held near the walls of the
monastery, specializing in the cattle trade. Crafts and handicraft
industries existed in the settlements: potato processing and starch
production; dyeing fabrics and sewing clothes; iconography;
metalworking, manufacturing of agricultural implements.
Borisoglebsky settlements and after the revolution had the status of the
center of the volost, since 1929 - the district, until the 1960s.
retained the old name. The settlement received the status of a workers'
settlement and its modern name in 1962, a decision to this effect was
published in Vedomosti of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR in 1962.
