Pushchino is situated on the bank of the [[Oka river]], opposite the Prioksko-Terrasny Biosphere Reserve.
Pushchino existed since the 16th century as a family estate after the land was awarded to the Pushchin family around the year 1500. The area was selected in 1956 as a site for a scientific research center for the [[Russian Academy of Science]]. It was incorporated as a city in 1966. To disambiguate with a small town near Chekhov, also in the Moscow Region, the city is sometimes referred to as Pushchino-na-Oke (Pushchino on Oka).
