Noginsk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noginsk (Russian: Ногинск) is a city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Klyazma River. Population: 117,555 (2002 Census); 123,020 (1989 Census). It is a major textile center, processing cotton, silk, and wool.
Founded in 1389 as Rogozhi, the city was later called Bogorodsk; it was renamed Noginsk in 1930 after Communist textile boss Viktor Nogin. Some of the city's companies, such as Bogorodsk Brewery[1] and Bogorodskavtotransk (local transportation company), still bear the name of Bogorodsk.
Construction of a new toll highway is now underway, which will be a great alternative to the overcrowded Gorky Highway used mainly by heavy vehicles to carry transcontinental loads (European Union–Russia–China). The project route will lie to the south of the current one, between Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) Highway and Nosovikhinskoye Highway. Prospectively, estimated travel time from Moscow is 20 minutes.

Vladimir Laptev was the Mayor of Noginsk until 2005. Current mayor is Vladimir Khvatov.
