Ivanovo was created by merging the old flax-processing village Ivanovo (first documented in 1561) with the industrial Voznesensky Posad in 1871.
By the early 20th century, Ivanovo competed with Łódź (also a part of the Russian Empire at that time) for a title of the main textile production centre in Europe.
