The territory of its urban district is bordered to the north, west, and east byOdintsovo city district, in the south-withNaro-Fominsk city district.

The history of Krasnoznamensk dates back toThe Great Patriotic War. For flights to the rear of the Germans, Soviet long-range aviation required a direction-finding base located at three points. One of these points was a place on the edge of the forest near the villageSidorovskoe. Here is located one of the divisions of the regiment of communications and long-range aviation support.

In 1950, it was decided to build a stationary short-wave receiving radio center (PRC) for the long-range aviation communications forces at the location of the unit. The choice of location was justified by the presence of an electric substation in the village of Sidorovskoye with the necessary power reserve.

By the fall of 1952, seven Finnish houses had been built to form two streets. The first three-story red brick apartment building was built in 1957. Soon the soldiers ' club and library were opened, the construction of technical buildings, a canteen, a bathhouse, and the first stadium continued. In the early 1960s, the name Golitsyno-2 was assigned to the settlement by the number of the post office formation. In 1963, the construction of the first kindergarten in the military town began, the medical center opened its doors to patients, and on September 13, 1971, the first bell rang in a secondary school for 1000 students.

In 1963, on the edge of the same forest area, another military unit began to develop — the PRC of the signal Forces of the Strategic Missile Forces (Strategic Missile Forces). In 1964, the Government issued a decree on the construction of the CCP KIK on the same site. By order of the Strategic Missile Forces in 1964-1967, 9 residential four - and five-story buildings, two dormitories, a shop, a soldier's club, an officer's canteen were commissioned, a water intake well was drilled and treatment facilities were commissioned.

On November 24, 1977, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR No. 10, the locality of Golitsyno-2 was classified as a closed-type workers ' settlement of regional subordination. Since the Center of the Control and Measurement Complex of Artificial Earth Satellites and Space objects has just been awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, the same decree gave the village the name Krasnoznamensk. However, this name was considered closed for a long time, and in open documents the village, and then the city, was still called Golitsyno-2.

On September 14, 1981, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the work settlement of Golitsyno-2 was transformed into a closed-type city of the same name of regional subordination. By this time, the population of the village had already reached 10 thousand people, and by 1988 it exceeded 20 thousand.
