History[edit]

The Fominskoye village was first mentioned in chronicles in 1339, while it was under the rule of Ivan I of Moscow. Napoleon's Grande Armée passed through Fominskoye on its retreat from Moscow in 1812. The modern Naro-Fominsk was established as an urban-type settlement as a result of the merger of the villages of Fominskoye, Malaya Nara and Malkovo in 1925.[citation needed] Town status was granted to it in 1926.[citation needed] The town was severely damaged during World War II after Nazi Germany forces destroyed 687 buildings and a textile factory during the Battle of Moscow in 1941. Western part of Naro-Fominsk was occupied from October 21 to December 26, 1941. Naro-Fominsk was liberated by the 33rd Army under the command of Mikhail Grigoryevich Yefremov.
