It was founded as the settlement of Novgorodino (Новгоро́дино) in 1875, when merchant Komissarov built the Novo-Gorodinsky glass-works here (renamed "Krasnoye Ekho" in 1924). In 1940, it was granted urban-type settlement status in 1940 and demoted back in status to that of a rural locality in 2005.
The modern name of the settlement comes from the Krasnoye Ekho glass-works; one of the oldest glass-works in Russia.
