A famous light industry center in Russia. Since the 19th
century, several weaving factories operated in the city, around which

damaged by the development of the 1970s, but consists mainly of rich

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.
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 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.

region.
For the anniversary of the city in 1984, the poet A.

which was performed by Pavel Babakov. It has become, in some way, the

Posad (with an area of 4,320 hectares).
