History

The town grew from the village of Muromtsevo (Му́ромцево), where a textile factory was established in 1834. In 1928, the settlements around the textile factory were merged into the settlement of Krasnoflotsky (Краснофло́тский), which in 1929 was renamed Krasnoarmeysky (Красноарме́йский).^{[citation needed]} Town status was granted to the settlement in 1947, when it was renamed Krasnoarmeysk.^{[citation needed]}
