History

It has been known since 1485 as the village of Yakovlevskoye Bolshoye (Russian: Я́ковлевское Большо́е). The town of Privolzhsk was formed by merging the village of Yakovlevskoye and the neighboring settlements in 1938.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Privolzhsk serves as the administrative center of Privolzhsky District, to which it is directly subordinated.[1] Prior to the adoption of the Law #145-OZ On the Administrative-Territorial Division of Ivanovo Oblast in December 2010, it used to be incorporated separately as an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[2]

As a municipal division, the town of Privolzhsk is incorporated within Privolzhsky Municipal District as Privolzhskoye Urban Settlement.[3]
