Krasnoarmeysk (Russian: Красноарме́йск) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, on the Vorya River (Klyazma's tributary) 51 kilometers (32 mi) northeast of Moscow. Population: 26,294 (2010 Census);26,051 (2002 Census);27,460 (1989 Census).
The town grew from the village of Muromtsevo (Му́ромцево), where a textile factory was established in 1834. In 1928, the settlements around the textile factory were merged into the settlement of Krasnoflotsky (Краснофло́тский), which in 1929 was renamed Krasnoarmeysky (Красноарме́йский). Town status was granted to the settlement in 1947, when it was renamed Krasnoarmeysk.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as Krasnoarmeysk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Krasnoarmeysk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Krasnoarmeysk Urban Okrug.
Krasnoarmeysk is a terminal station on a railway line branching in Sofrino from the railway connecting Moscow and Yaroslavl. There is an (infrequent) passenger service from Yaroslavsky railway station in Moscow.
