Gritsovsky (Russian: Грицо́вский) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Venyovsky District of Tula Oblast, Russia, located 40 kilometers (25 mi) north of Venyov, the administrative center of the district, and 25 kilometers (16 mi) north of Novomoskovsk. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 6,192.[2]

History

It was founded in 1954 as a village to house the miners at the Gryzlov lignite mine.[1] Its name derives from that of the Gritsovo railway station which lies 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) to the east. In 1965, Gritsovsky was granted urban-type settlement status.[citation needed]

Gritsovsky reached its peak population of about 9,000 before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[9] Subsequently, the mines were privatized,[9] followed by decreased demand for lignite,[10] with the result that the last mine in the area closed in 2009.[9]

A regional hospital was built in Gritsovsky in 1995,[1] and in the 2000s a refrigerator factory (PZH, Podolsk) was built.[9]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, the urban-type settlement of Gritsovsky is incorporated within Venyovsky District as Venyovsky Urban-Type Settlement.[citation needed] As a municipal division, Gritsovsky Urban-Type Settlement is incorporated within Venyovsky Municipal District as Gritsovsky Urban Settlement.[3]
