Roslavl’ was founded in the first half of the 12th century in the southern part of the Smolensk Principality under the name “Rostislavl’.” From 1358 it was first part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and then of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The city finally became part of the Russian state in 1654. From 1708, Roslavl’ was the district capital of the governmental province of Smolensk. Soviet power was established in the city in October 1917. Occupied by fascist German troops from Aug. 2, 1941, to Sept. 25, 1943, the city was destroyed; after its liberation, it was rebuilt.

Roslavl’ has the Avtozapchast’ plant, which produces automobile parts. There are also plants for the production of diamond-cutting instruments and the repair of railroad cars and a brickyard, glassworks, and oil mill. There are also factories producing twine and knitted goods and a combine for processing and drying vegetables. The city’s educational institutions include a railroad-transport technicum, a sovkhoz technicum, and a medical school.

The remains of a fortified settlement dating to the early Middle Ages have been preserved in Roslavl’ (Burtseva Hill). Excavations in 1969–70 uncovered remains of a settlement that had been destroyed by fire in the 12th century. Higher levels contain the remains of wooden dwellings and outbuildings from the 13th–14th centuries. Many objects have been found that illustrate the development of commerce and craftsmanship in Roslavl’.
