History

Firovo was founded in 1902 as a station on the Bologoye - Polotsk Railway. The station was built at equal distances from Bologoye and Ostashkov. The name was given after the village of Firovka, which existed in the area.[6] The settlement of Firovo was the center of Firovskaya Volost of Valdaysky Uyezd, Novgorod Governorate. Effective October 1, 1927 Novgorod Governorate with its uyezds was abolished, and Rozhdestvensky District was established, with the administrative center in the selo of Rozhdestvo. It was a part of Borovichi Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Firovo became a part of Rozhdestvensky District. On September 20, 1931, Rozhdestvensky District was abolished and merged into Bologovsky District of Leningrad Oblast.[10]

On March 5, 1935 Kalinin Oblast was established. It included areas which formerly belonged to Moscow, Leningrad, and Western Oblasts. In particular, Firovsky District with the administrative center in Firovo was established. In 1947, Firovo was granted urban-type settlement status.[7] In February 1963, during the abortive administrative reform by Nikita Khrushchev, Firovsky District was merged into Vyshnevolotsky District, but on April 6, 1972 it was re-established.[11] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.
