History

Chernogolovka for the first time has been officially mentioned in 1710. In 1956, Chernogolovka grew into a scientific center with the help of Nobel Prize winner Nikolay Semyonov.

In 2001, Chernogolovka was granted town status and given the further status as a naukograd or science city in 2008.
