Pre-revolutionary years

Recent history
In 1922, the development of the Yegoryevsk phosphorite deposit began for the processing of raw materials, from which a chemical plant was subsequently built. By 1934, the first four-story residential buildings and administrative buildings were built. In July 1938, the settlement, along with several villages, were merged into the city of Voskresensk. The population grew rapidly, due to the arrival of specialists and labor from all over the country. In 1939, 17,231 people lived here.
During the war, the railway station was repeatedly bombed, but the German air raids did not affect the chemical plant, because they wanted to capture it whole. In 1954, the large settlement of Kolyberovo was annexed to the city. The population of Voskresensk by 1959 increased to 44,759 people.
