History

It was founded in 1777 during Catherine the Great's municipal reform as a town and the seat of newly created Novorzhevsky Uyezd in Pskov Viceroyalty.[7] In 1796, when the viceroyalty was abolished and transformed into Pskov Governorate, the uyezd was abolished as well; however, it was re-established in 1802.[7]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds and governorates were abolished and Novorzhevsky District, with the administrative center in Novorzhev, was established as a part of Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[11] It included parts of former Novorzhevsky Uyezd.[12] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[11] On January 29, 1935, the district was transferred to Kalinin Oblast, and on February 5, Novorzhevsky District became a part of Velikiye Luki Okrug of Kalinin Oblast,[11] one of the okrugs abutting the state boundaries of the Soviet Union. On May 11, 1937, the district was transferred to Opochka Okrug.[11] On February 5, 1941, the okrug was abolished.[11] Between July 17, 1941 and February 29, 1944, Novorzhev was occupied by German troops.[citation needed] In 1944, the town was completely destroyed but it was rebuilt after the war.[citation needed] On August 23, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Pskov Oblast.[11]
