It was founded in 1879 due to the construction of a textile factory by the Vysokovskaya Manufactory Company.[citation needed] Two minor settlements servicing the factory—Vysokoye (Высо́кое) and Novy Bazar (Но́вый База́р)—grew into one, named Vysokovsky (Высоко́вский), in 1928. It was granted town status in 1940 and renamed Vysokovsk.[citation needed]
