Pavlovo-Posadsky District

Pavlovo-Posadsky District is an administrative area in Moscow Oblast comprising multiple settlements spread across the region. It includes the town of Pavlovsky Posad along with smaller urban and rural communities.

The area emerged as a textile production center during the 1800s, establishing itself as a regional manufacturing hub. Administrative changes have shaped its current organization.

The area carries on a heritage of decorative shawl making through family and factory traditions. Local artisans continue to use methods passed down through generations.

The district connects to Moscow by rail with regular train service available. Travel time from the capital is roughly an hour and a half by train.

The population is heavily concentrated in the town of Pavlovsky Posad, leaving much of the surrounding area more sparsely populated. This imbalance is a defining feature of the district's settlement pattern.
