History

Gavrilov Posad was first mentioned in a legal document in 1434 as the settlement of Gavrilovskoye.[2] It is believed that it was founded some time in the 13th century by Vsevolod the Big Nest and named after his son Svyatoslav, whose second Christian name was Gavriil. In 1609, the settlement turned into Gavrilova sloboda.[2] In 1789, it was renamed Gavrilovsky Posad and granted town status.[2] It was given its present name in the 20th century.[2]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Gavrilov Posad serves as the administrative center of Gavrilovo-Posadsky District, to which it is directly subordinated.[1] Prior to the adoption of the Law #145-OZ On the Administrative-Territorial Division of Ivanovo Oblast in December 2010, it used to be incorporated separately as an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[11]

As a municipal division, the town of Gavrilov Posad, together with eleven rural localities in Gavrilovo-Posadsky District, is incorporated within Gavrilovo-Posadsky Municipal District as Gavrilovo-Posadskoye Urban Settlement.[5]
