Naro-Fominsk (Russian: На́ро-Фоми́нск) is a town and the administrative center of Naro-Fominsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 70 kilometers (43 mi) southwest from Moscow, on the Nara River. The Moscow–Kiev railway passes through the town. Population: 64,665 (2010 Census);[1] 70,475 (2002 Census);[4] 58,292 (1989 Census).[5]
History
The settlement was first mentioned in chronicles in 1339, while it was under the rule of Ivan Kalita. Napoleon's Grande Armée passed through the town on its retreat from Moscow in 1812. The modern town of Naro-Fominsk was established as an urban-type settlement as a result of the merger of the villages of Fominskoye and Malaya Nara in 1925. Town status was granted to it in 1926. The town was severely damaged during the World War II, after Nazi Germany forces destroyed 687 buildings and a textile factory during the Battle of Moscow in 1941.
The town is home to the 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Tank Brigade, part of the Western Military District.
