City `s history

In the middle of the XIX century in the city there was a large textile production - Bogoroditsa-Glukhovskaya manufactory. In the second half of the XIX century the city became one of the centers of the Old Believers in the Moscow region. With the Old Believer community there was a big choir, which was known for public speeches.

In the years of Soviet power, the city became famous for the fact that in its territory the first monument to Lenin in the world was erected on the design of the decorator of Glukhov's manufactory F. Kuznetsov. This monument is also unique in that it began to be created even during the life of the leader, and his discovery was to take place on January 22, 1924. In the morning the head of the city received a telegram about Ilyich's death, so the opening of the monument was tragic. In Noginsk the city was renamed in honor of Bolshevik Victor Nogin in 1930.
