History edit

It was founded in 1954 as a village to house the miners at the Gryzlov lignite mine.[1] Its name derives from that of the Gritsovo railway station which lies 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the east. In 1965, Gritsovsky was granted urban-type settlement status.[citation needed]

Gritsovsky reached its peak population of about 9,000 before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[9] Subsequently, the mines were privatized,[9] followed by decreased demand for lignite,[10] with the result that the last mine in the area closed in 2009.[9]

A regional hospital was built in Gritsovsky in 1995,[1] and in the 2000s a refrigerator factory (PZH, Podolsk) was built.[9]

Administrative and municipal status edit

Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Gritsovsky is incorporated within Venyovsky District as Venyovsky Urban-Type Settlement.[citation needed] As a municipal division, Gritsovsky Urban-Type Settlement is incorporated within Venyovsky Municipal District as Gritsovsky Urban Settlement.[3]
