History
In 1708, a manufacture for producing elk leather uniforms was established by Peter the Great. The sloboda around the manufacture was named Losinaya Petrovskaya (Лоси́ная Петро́вская). The manufacture existed until 1858, by which time several other textile factories were established. In 1928, the sloboda was granted urban-type settlement status, and in 1951—town status.[citation needed]
