History
The settlement was founded in the 1930s as a military unit serving Vypolzovo Airfield (the name of the airfield was taken from the nearby settlement of Vypolzovo). In the 1960s, the 7th Guards Rocket Division, operating strategic missiles, was relocated to the settlement and became the major employer. The settlement was known as Bologoye-4 since. In 1992 the urban-type settlement was renamed Ozyorny and officially was granted a status of a closed urban locality.
