Town and the administrative center of Lukhovitsky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Oka River 135 kilometers (84 mi) southeast of Moscow. Population: 29,850 (2010 Census).
It was first mentioned in 1594 as the settlement of Glukhovichi (Глуховичи), a votchina of a Ryazan archbishop. It used to be called Lukhovichi (Луховичи) until the mid-1920s.[citation needed] In 1957, it was granted town status. The town grew rapidly after the transfer of testing (and later production) facilities of the Mikoyan design bureau.
