History

It was founded in 1879 due to the construction of a textile factory by the Vysokovskaya Manufactory Company. Two minor settlements servicing the factory—Vysokoye (Высо́кое) and Novy Bazar (Но́вый База́р)—grew into one, named Vysokovsky (Высоко́вский), in 1928. It was granted town status in 1940 and renamed Vysokovsk.
