[edit] History
The town was founded in 1236 and first mentioned in 1348 in the Nikon Chronicle. The town was sacked by Khan Akhmat in 1472 during his invasion of Muscovy. Because of its situation on the Oka River it was, for a while, an important inland port. Aleksin was granted town status in 1777. The town expanded in the 1930s with the construction of a chemical plant
