Vysokovsk

Vysokovsk (Russian: Высоко́вск) is a town in Klinsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 99 kilometers (62 mi) northwest of Moscow.

[7] It was founded in 1879 due to the construction of a textile factory by the Vysokovskaya Manufactory Company.

[citation needed] Two minor settlements servicing the factory—Vysokoye (Высо́кое) and Novy Bazar (Но́вый База́р)—grew into one, named Vysokovsky (Высоко́вский), in 1928.

It was granted town status in 1940 and renamed Vysokovsk.

[9] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with seventeen rural localities, incorporated within Klinsky District as the Town of Vysokovsk.
