The settlement of the Duminichsky plant was formed in 1882, when the Bolkhov merchant A.I. Tsyplakov and the landowner of the Zhizdrinsky District I.R.Labunsky began to build an iron foundry in the Nikitinsky forest dacha, which received its name from a nearby village. The settlement that grew up near the plant, which originally consisted of several residential buildings, two factory shelters, a store, a first-aid post and a fire station, was part of the Vertena parish.

The plant was put into operation on February 17 (March 1) 1883, and after that the village began to develop rapidly. Along the roads Bobrovo-Duminichi and Bobrovo-Polyaki, forests were cut down and dwelling houses were built. The population increased mainly due to newcomers - former craftsmen Maltsov enterprises.
