History
The first settlement of ancient people (hunters and fishermen) is dated to the 6th–8th millennia BCE, i.e. in the late Stone Age. In the 8th–9th centuries, first Slavic tribes (Vyatichs and Krivichs) began settling here. In and around the Mytishchi district about a dozen of such settlements (11th–13th centuries) are known.
The settlement of Mytishchi has been known since 1460, since the 19th century as Bolshiye Mytishchi (Большие Мытищи). The history of the village is closely linked to the Yauzsky port. Mytishchi was an important place on the trade ship route. Through this site commercial ships had been hauled across on wheels, rollers, or skids from the Yauza River to the Klyazma River. Merchants had to pay a duty for this. The settlement got its name thanks to the duty, which had been known as myt (мыт).
In the middle of the 19th century, the population of the village was 389. Town status was granted in 1925.
