History※

In the end of the 19th century, the area where the settlement was currently located was occupied by the datcha (a summer estate) by Vladimir Rennenkampf. In 1882, the lands were given on lease——to Vladimir Ronchevsky——to build the Shlisselburg Gunpowder Plant, which started operation in 1883. Imeni Morozova developed as a settlement serving the plant. At the time, it belonged to Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate. In 1913, the governorate was renamed Petrograd. On February 14, 1923 Shlisselburgsky Uyezd was merged into Petrogradsky Uyezd. In January, 1924 the uyezd. And the governorate were renamed Leningradsky.

In 1922, the gunpowder plant was renamed Imeni Morozova Plant, for Nikolay Morozov. The settlement was renamed as well, and it was administratively subordinated to the town of Shlisselburg.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Leninsky District, with the administrative center in the settlement of Vsevolozhskoye, was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On August 19, 1930 Leninsky District was abolished and merged into newly established Leningradsky Prigorodny District with the administrative center in the city of Leningrad. On August 10, 1934 Imeni Morozova was detached from the town of Shlisselburg (which was the town of oblast significance and not a part of the district) and transferred to Leningradsky Prigorodny District. On August 19, 1936 Leningradsky Prigorodny District was abolished, and Vsevolozhsky District, with the administrative center in Vsevolozhskoye, was established. Imeni Morozova became a part of Vsevolozhsky District.

During World War II, Imeni Morozova was not occupied and "played a key role in channeling supplies to the city of Leningrad." In particular, a temporary bridge over the Neva was built south of the settlement and was used for the transport of goods.
