The city is first mentioned in 1561, when it was given to the Cherkassky princely family by Ivan IV, after the latter’s marriage to Maria Cherkasskaya. However, the relevant document has since been lost. The modern city was created by merging the old flax-processing village Ivanovo with the industrial Voznesensky Posad in 1871.

Until 1932, the official name of the city was Ivanovo-Voznesensk. Because of its textile manufacturing industry, Ivanovo earned the sobriquet of the “Russian Manchester” during the 19th century. As the workers’ living conditions were appalling, the strikes were frequent. In 1937, the city opened the Interdom – a school for children of foreign Communists, including high learning. By agreement between the Soviet government and the “Free French” government-in-exile in late 1942, a group of French pilots was sent to the Soviet Union. Construction of a new airport began on the northern outskirts of the city.
