Within the framework of administrative divisions, Yuryevets serves as the administrative center of Yuryevetsky 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.[10]
As a municipal division, the town of Yuryevets is incorporated within Yuryevetsky Municipal District as Yuryevetskoye Urban Settlement.[4]
The natives of Yuryevets include the Vesnin brothers. Filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky spent his childhood years there.
