History
The settlement was founded in the 1930s as a military unit serving Vypolzovo (air base) (the name of the airfield was taken from the nearby settlement of Vypolzovo).[2] In the 1960s, the 7th Guards Rocket Division, operating strategic missiles, was relocated to the settlement and became the major employer.[9] The settlement was known as Bologoye-4 since. In 1992 the urban-type settlement was renamed Ozyorny and officially was granted a status of a closed urban locality.[2]
