Later, the village was owned by General Izmailov, who became one of the prototypes of Troekurov from the story by A.S. Pushkin "Dubrovsky".

History[ | ]

The city is located on the territory of the former village of Mikhailovka, which supposedly arose in the 17th century (in 1777 the village of Bolshaya Mikhailovka

first mentioned in sources: it was shown on the map of Epifansky district)[7].

On December 14, 1874, train traffic was opened along the section of the Ryazhsko-Vyazemskaya railway passing by Mikhailovka, on which the Epifan

- named after the county town of Epifan, located 15 km to the south.
village of Mikhailovsky
grew up next to it [7].

On November 29, 1926, in accordance with the resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the administrative center of the Karachevsky district of the Tula province was moved from the village of Karachevo to the village of Mikhailovsky at the Epifan station, and the district itself was renamed Mikhailovsky[8].

In June 1929, on the initiative of the Komsomol members of the village, a collective farm was organized, which was given the name “In the Name of the 10th Anniversary of KIM” (when the anniversary year ended, the name was shortened to: “KIM collective farm”

)[7].

On December 31, 1930, by a resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the Mikhailovsky district, with its center in the village of Mikhailovsky at the Epifan station, was renamed into the Kimovsky district (by analogy with the name of the collective farm) [9] - in order to avoid confusion with the Mikhailovsky district, with its center in the city of Mikhailov. In 1943, near the village of Mikhailovsky in the village of Granki, the development of a large deposit of brown coal in the Moscow Region coal basin began and the first mine was founded. On June 23, 1948, the village of Mikhailovsky at the Epifan station in the Kimovsky district was classified as a working village and was named the working village of Kimovsk.

[10]. On March 31, 1952, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the workers' village of Kimovsk was transformed into a city of regional subordination[7].
