Etymology

The name of the town is an adjective meaning "beyond the lakes", referring to the lakes in the south the town is abutting.[7]

History

The old part of the town

It was established in 1776 as the sloboda of Troitsko-Zaozyornaya in the land owned by the Troitsko-Turukhansky Monastery. The main occupation of the settlers was mica mining; later placer mining. In 1934, it was granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Zaozyorny due to the anti-religious matters (the "Troitsko-" part of the name means "of the Trinity"). It was granted town status in 1948.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Zaozyorny serves as the administrative center of Rybinsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Rybinsky District as the district town of Zaozyorny.[1] As a municipal division, the district town of Zaozyorny is incorporated within Rybinsky Municipal District as Zaozyorny Urban Settlement.[2]

Economy

In the Soviet era, a number of plants and factories were built in Zaozyorny: electronic parts, brick, baking with a huge grain elevator, milk, furniture, and sewing factories. All of them become barely functional after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In the beginning of the 2000s, the furniture and sewing factories were funded by the Krasnoyarsk companies and became functional again, while the mica mill yet remains in crisis.[8]

In 2002 and 2006, the town faced a critical situation with the central heating functionality due to the local government's financial crisis.[9][10]
