Noginsk (Russian: Ноги́нск) is a city and the administrative center of Noginsky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 34 kilometers (21 mi) east of the Moscow Ring Road on the Klyazma River. Population: 100,072 (2010 Census);[3] 117,555 (2002 Census);[6] 123,020 (1989 Census).[7]

History

Founded in 1389 as Rogozhi, the town was later renamed Bogorodsk (lit. [a town] of the Mother of God) by a Catherine the Great's decree in 1781, when it was granted town status. Throughout the 19th century and for a good part of the 20th century, the town was a major textile center, processing cotton, silk, and wool. In 1930, the town was renamed Noginsk after Bolshevik Viktor Nogin.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Noginsk serves as the administrative center of Noginsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with five rural localities, incorporated within Noginsky District as the City of Noginsk.[1] As a municipal division, the City of Noginsk is incorporated within Noginsky Municipal District as Noginsk Urban Settlement.[2]

Economy

The city's industrial production is concentrated on ceramics (two major holdings), food (Biserovo fisheries and a fish factory in Noginsk), beverage (one of Russia's biggest beverage producers is located near Noginsk), and construction materials.

Transportation

Noginsk is a transport hub, being the intersection of the Nizhny Novgorod Highway, M7 (E22), and the Moscow Minor Ring road.

Rapid transit development plans include possible construction of a direct high-speed railway line connecting Noginsk to the prospective Serp i Molot railway/metro terminal or Shosse Entuziastov metro station. Public transportation system consists of buses and trams. Noginsk's current commuters' travel to and from Moscow on the M7 Moscow-Nizhny-Novgorod Highway. There is also an indirect railway line going through Fryazevo—the line running the first 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) southward, whereas Moscow lies due west of Noginsk. It was built in the late 19th century for the purposes of the textile industry and is still in use.
