Krasnozavodsk (Russian: Краснозаво́дск; lit. "red factory") is a town in Sergiyevo-Posadsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Kunya River (Dubna's tributary) some 88 kilometers (55 mi) north-east of Moscow and 15 kilometers (9 mi) north of Sergiyev Posad. Population: 13,500 (2005 est.);[citation needed] 13,549 (2002 Census);[1] 29,786 (1989 Census).[2]
Krasnozavodsk was founded in 1915 as a settlement servicing a mechanical factory. Initially, it had no name. After 1917, it was called Vozrozhdeniye (Возрожде́ние, or "Revival"), Zagorsky (Заго́рский), due to its vicinity to Zagorsk (now Sergiyev Posad); and Krasnozavodsky (Краснозаво́дский). In 1940, the settlement was granted town status and renamed Krasnozavodsk. In 1999, a part of Krasnozavodsk and the nearby settlement of Novostroyka were incorporated into the town of Peresvet.[3]
Some seven kilometers north of Krasnozavodsk is the settlement of Bogorodskoye, known as the center of one of the oldest popular handicrafts—fretted toys and small sculptures made of soft kinds of wood.
