History

Kotovsk was founded before World War I under the initiative of Tsar Nicholas II as a settlement for workers who were engaged in the construction of the gunpowder factory (commissioned in 1912). Initially, it was called Porokhovoy Zavod (Порохово́й Заво́д, lit. gunpowder factory). It was later turned renamed Krasny Boyevik (Кра́сный Боеви́к, lit. red fighter), because it was used by the Bolsheviks as a lodgement for the establishment of the Soviet government in the region.[7] In 1940, it was granted town status and renamed Kotovsk after Grigory Kotovsky (1881–1925), who had suppressed an anti-Soviet peasant rebellion in Tambov Governorate in 1921.

The railway station was closed.
