In the 19th century, Tomilino was an estate of Obolensky knyazes. Tomilino was officially founded in 1894 by merchant Tomilin as a suburban settlement where he build his own house. It became very attractive for people because of a very close location to Moscow.
Later Tomilino became known as a scientific research, development, and production center. Some major enterprises were founded by the government. One of them is NPP Zvezda plant, famous for the spacesuits for Russian cosmonauts, including Yuri Gagarin, and aircraft ejector seats, which highly proved themselves in many extreme situations.
