Kotovsk was founded before World War I as a settlement for workers who were engaged in the construction of the gun powder factory (commissioned in 1912). Initially, it was a neighborhood of Tambov called Porokhovoy Zavod (Порохово́й Заво́д, or Gun Powder Factory). The neighborhood was then turned into a town called Krasny Boyevik (Кра́сный Боеви́к, or Red Fighter).
