==History==
 
The first mentions of the village of Podol, which belonged to the [[votchina]] of the [[Danilov Monastery]], are contained in the church [[Letopis (genre)|letopis]] of 1627-1628. On October 5, 1781, by the personal decree of [[Catherine the Great|Catherine II]], the [[Podolsky Uyezd]] was formed, and the village of Podol was renamed the city of Podolsk.
Before the [[Russian Revolution|Revolution of 1917]], Podolsk was among one of the most industrialized cities in Russia. The ''[[Podolsk Mechanical Plant]]'' producing [[sewing machine]]s was established here.
 
Podolsk land is directly connected with the events of the [[French invasion of Russia|Patriotic War of 1812]]. After the [[Battle of Borodino]], the troops under the leadership of [[Mikhail Kutuzov]], passing through Podolsk, took up defensive positions near the village of [[:ru:Красная Пахра (село)|Krasnaya Pakhra, Podolsk district]], then approached [[Tarutino, Russia|Tarutino]], setting up a camp here. The famous [[:ru:Тарутинский манёвр|Tarutino maneuver]] determined the entire further victorious course of the war with the [[Grande Armée|Napoleonic army]].
 
After the Patriotic War of 1812, Podolsk and Podolsk uyezd restored and expanded their economic functions, primarily trade. This, in particular, was facilitated by the construction in 1844-1847 of the [[Varshavskoye Highway|Warsaw (Brest-Litovsk) highway]], as well as the construction of a bridge across the Pakhra river. In the 1840s, 13 manufactories worked in the uyezd. Among the cities near [[Moscow]], Podolsk in the second half of the 19th century stood out with the highest population growth rate. In 1900, the American company "[[Singer Corporation|Singer]]" founded in Podolsk a [[:ru:Подольский электромеханический завод|mechanical plant]] for the assembly of sewing machines and the production of parts for them and had become one of the city-forming enterprises of Podolsk, causing city's economic growth at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1917 the stone buildings of a [[realschule]], a cinema, a power plant, and a water supply were built, and the number of citizens reached 19 thousand.<ref>{{cite web |title=Городской округ Подольск: история и современность |url=http://xn----8sbancyabljpnebm2aiit6frfsd.xn--p1ai/gorodskoj-okrug-podolsk-istoriya-i-sovremennost/ |website=Podolsk Urban Okrug administration website |publisher= |language=ru |access-date=2021-12-25}}</ref>
