Yegoryevsk (Russian: Его́рьевск) is a town and the administrative center of Yegoryevsk Urban Settlement in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Guslitsa River 114km (71miles) southeast of Moscow.
Yegoryevsk was named honor of St. Egory, that is, Saint George.
It has been known since 1462 as the village of Vysokoye (Russian: Высо́кое). Town status was granted to it in 1778. The new town was quite small with a population of only 280 males and 295 females, mostly merchants and burgesses .
Yegoryevsk was famous for its annual fairs, where bread was mainly sold. In the 19th century, Yegoryevsk became the center of the textile industry. The Khludov brothers cotton factory has been in operation since 1845. It has survived to this day and its watches are one of the main sights of the town. Yegoryevsk also owed its development to the mayor from 1872 to 1901, . At his order, the Moscow architect built the Egoryevsk Mechanical and Electrical Engineering School named after Tsarevich Alexei, and the Holy Trinity Mariinsky Convent was rebuilt.
Yegoryevsk is also an important center of Old Believers.
