The settlement of Severny was established in the early 1950s as a settlement associated with the Northern Waterworks Station, which supplies Moscow with drinking water from the
Moscow Canal. In 1952, it was granted the status of a workers' settlement and was under the administrative jurisdiction of the Moscow City Council. By a decree of the
Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the
RSFSR dated December 11, 1985, "On the Inclusion of Certain Settlements into the City of Moscow," the settlement of Severny was incorporated into the city limits of Moscow. In 1991, the North-Eastern Administrative District was established, In the 2000s, large-scale construction began (by December 2011, the 1st, 4th, and 9th microdistricts of high-rise buildings, as well as the 2nd microdistrict—cottage settlements "Severnaya Sloboda," "Severnaya Sloboda-2" (in the final stages of construction), and "Arkhangelskoye-Tyurikovo" were completed). Additionally, the opening of a bypass road was announced, diverting traffic from the intersection of Dmitrovskoye Highway and the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD). In October 2016, the road was named Akademika Flërova Street. It extends through the
Lianozovo District from the overpass on Dmitrovskoye Highway along the Savyolovskoye direction of the Moscow Railway, passing the Mark station, continues through the Severny District to the Meryanka River, turns northeast, and follows the riverbank to Dolgoprudnenskoye Highway, beyond which it is continued by Akademika Alikhanova Street. In 2017, according to research by the company
