Lakinsk (ru|Ла́кинск) is a town in Sobinsky District of Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Klyazma River, 32km (20miles) southwest of Vladimir, the administrative center of the oblast. Population:
It grew out of the village of Undol (Russian: Ундол), which was in the same area as the modern town and has been documented since at least the end of the 15th century. In 1889, a spinning-and-weaving factory was opened near the village. As the factory developed, the village also grew. In 1927, Undol was granted work settlement status and renamed Lakinsky (Russian: Лакинский) after the local party leader. It was granted town status and renamed Lakinsk in 1969.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Lakinsk is directly subordinated to Sobinsky District.[1] As a municipal division, the town of Lakinsk is incorporated within Sobinsky Municipal District as Lakinsk Urban Settlement.[2]
