Kolomna - one of the oldest cities in the Moscow region. The city was founded on the beautiful high Bank of the Moscow river at the confluence of the river Kolomenka. From an economic point of view, the place where the city was chosen very well: the confluence of Moscow and Oka was the intersection of major water trade routes. And the location of the city at the turn of Vladimir-Suzdal and Ryazan land was exceptionally beneficial and strategically allowed them to control the upper and lower reaches of the Oka with the pool of the Moscow river.
The name of the city associated with the common Slavic root "Kolo" (circle, circle) or erected to the Turkic word "Colm" (grave, cemetery). Historians believe that the frontier fortress town of Kolomna founded Ryazan Prince Gleb to strengthen their borders and strengthen economic, political and strategic position of Ryazan. Since that time many goods from the South to Vladimir began to walk through the Kolomna. Vladimir the Prince could not be reconciled with the strengthening of the Ryazan Principality. Because of the strife of the two princes in the Laurentian chronicle first mentioned the city of Kolomna under the year 1177, which is conventionally considered the founding date of the city.
In the second half of XIX - early XX century after the construction of the city's engineering plant, Kolomna is one of the largest industrial centers of Russia. In March 1869 the plant produced the first steam locomotive, in 1903 - three thousand. In addition, the plant has manufactured bridges, including Borodinsky, Krasnokholmsky, Moskvoretsky and Crimea in Moscow, Foundry and Palace in St. Petersburg, the bridge over the Dnieper river in Kiev, produced wagons, riverboats, steam engines, dredging machines looms.
Today Kolomna is an independent modern city, industrial, transport and cultural center of the Moscow region. There are all conditions for comfortable and civilized living. Widely spread infrastructure is a set of elements of school, pre-school and higher education; Commerce, medicine, sports facilities. Residential complexes include not only comfortable apartments, but also Parking lots, playgrounds for sports and recreation.
