Losino-Petrovsky (ru|Лоси́но-Петро́вский) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located at the confluence of the Vorya and Klyazma Rivers 52km (32miles) northeast of Moscow. Population:
In 1708, a manufacture for producing elk leather uniforms was established by Peter the Great. The sloboda around the manufacture was named Losinaya Petrovskaya (Russian: Лоси́ная Петро́вская). The manufacture existed until 1858, by which time several other textile factories were established. In 1928, the sloboda was granted urban-type settlement status, and in 1951—town status.
