Throughout the 19th century and for a good part of the 20th century, the town was a major textile center, processing cotton, silk, and wool. In 1930, the town was renamed Noginsk after Bolshevik Viktor Nogin.

As an administrative division, it is, together with five rural localities, incorporated within Noginsky District as the City of Noginsk.
