The settlement has grown around theUgresha Monastery which stands at the heart of the modern town. The monastery has been one of the richest in Russia since the 17th century whenTsar Alexis andPatriarch Nikon built their palaces on the grounds. It was greatly expanded in the 19th century, under the supervision of St. Pimen of Ugreshi. One of the new churches in the monastery is dedicated to St. Pimen. The walled area of the monastery has several picturesqueponds.
After theOctober Revolution of 1917, in an effort to fight childhomelessness, the monastery was reorganized into achildren labor colony in 1920. The colony was later transformed into a labor commune byFelix Dzerzhinsky. In 1921, the colony spread outside the boundaries of the former monastery and an official settlement was established. In 1938, it was grantedurban-type settlement status, just after the commune had dissolved. Town status was granted to Dzerzhinsky in 1981.[citation needed]
