A settlement on the site of modern Shatura has existed since 1423. In 1917, peat deposits mining started in the vicinity. In 1918, construction of the first peat-fueled electric Shatura Power Station began near the village of Torbeyevka ({{lang|ru|Торбе́евка}}). In 1919, the settlement of Shaturstroy ({{lang|ru|Шатурстро́й}}) was founded nearby and in 1920, the settlement of Chyornoye Ozero ({{lang|ru|Чёрное О́зеро}}) followed. In 1928, the three settlements were merged to form the settlement of Shatura, which was granted town status in 1936.{{cite web | url=https://vk.com/album-89874681_216681476 | title=Шатурские экспедиции Космопоиска | VK }}
