The time of the founding of this village is unknown. In the books of the Patriarchal Treasury Prikaz under 1628, the village of Zherekhovo is listed as the patrimony of "Tatyana Ivanova, wife of Vsevolotsky"; in the Vladimir census books of 1703, Zherekhovo is shown as the patrimony of the okolnichy Timofey Vasilyevich Cheglokov, and in 1731 - the patrimony of the adjutant A.S. Vsevolotsky. Probably, the village of Zherekhovo in the 18th century belonged to two landowners from the Vsevolozhsky and Cheglokov families. At the end of the 18th century, Zherekhovo passed into the possession of the Zubov counts.
In 1731, instead of the dilapidated wooden St. Sergius Church in Zherekhovo, the owner of the village, Alexey Stepanovich Vsevolozhsky, built a stone pillar-shaped church, and a tent-roofed bell tower was erected at the same time. Another church in honor of the Bogolyubskaya Icon of the Mother of God was built in 1869; both churches were renovated inside and out in 1887, and in 1889 they were surrounded by a new stone fence.
In 2013-2015, work was carried out to preserve the cultural heritage site.
