Naro-Fominsk, Administrative center in Moscow Oblast, Russia.
Naro-Fominsk runs along the banks of the Nara River, located roughly 70 kilometers southwest of Moscow at an elevation of 180 meters. The Moscow-Kyiv railway line crosses through the settlement and connects it with the larger urban centers of the region.
The settlement formed in 1925 through the merger of three villages named Fominskoye, Malaya Nara and Malkovo. The following year in 1926 it received official status as a town.
The town connects to Soviet textile history through its silk factory, which produced Bologna fabric as the first plant in the country during the early 1960s. This legacy appears today in local memory and in the industrial past visible across many buildings.
The rail connection to Moscow enables regular access and makes the place a starting point for visitors exploring the surrounding area. Travelers arriving by train will find the town center within walking distance from the station.
A major tank division maintains its base in the town and has shaped part of local life for decades. This military presence belongs to the Western Military District and plays a role in the more recent history of the place.
