It was founded in 1896.[3] The colony of Roslyakovo was one of the twenty-one included into Alexandrovskaya Volost of Alexandrovsky Uyezd, Arkhangelsk Governorate upon its establishment on July 1, 1920.[4] Urban-type settlement status was granted to Roslyakovo in 1959.

Roslyakovo was in jurisdiction of the closed administrative-territorial formation of Severomorsk until January 1, 2015, when it was abolished, with its territory merged into the city of Murmansk.

There is no restaurant or cafe in town. Formerly, there was a medical clinic. There are "a few 7-Eleven-sized grocery stores."The Church of St. Michael the Archangel, founded in 1991, is the only church in the town.[5]

Most of the population are in the Russian Navy, or work as navy contractors. Shipbuilding is a local industry. After merging and enlarging two graving docks for the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, Roslyakovo has the largest drydock in European Russia.[6] Rosneft, the state owned oil company, is opening facilities in the town.[7]
