Zuevo was a historic village in Bogorodsky Uyezd, Moscow Governorate, Imperial Russia. It was the administrative centre of Zuevskaya volost. Since 1917 it has been part of the city of Orekhovo-Zuyevo. It was the birthplace of Savva Vasilyevich Morozov and played an important role in the industrialisation of Imperial Russia.
The village was originally an area of arable agriculture. In the Economic Notes of 1760 it states of the population "they plow the land all over, and they also use carts to hire them to different cities." However, from 1771 when two peasants gained permission to start silk weaving in five locations, the village played a part in the developing textile sector in Imperial Russia. [1] This contributed to the expansion of the population:
