History

Maryovo was mentioned in a chronicle in 1495 as Maryova. At the time, it was a part of Derevskaya Pyatina of the Novgorod Republic. Between 1612 and 1617, during the Ingrian War, it was occupied by Polish and Swedish troops. By 1620, it was completely depopulated and had to be repopulated again.[2] In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate). In 1727, separate Novgorod Governorate was split off. Until and 1824, Maryovo was a part of Starorussky Uyezd of Novgorod Viceroyalty (since 1796 of Novgorod Governorate). In 1824, it was transferred to Demyansky Uyezd, which was split off Starorussky Uyezd.[3]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, and Molvotitsky District was established, with the center in the selo of Molvotitsy. Novgorod Governorate was abolished as well, and the district belonged to Novgorod Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Maryovo was part of Molvotitsky District. On July 23, 1930 the okrugs were abolished, and the districts became directly subordinate to the oblast. During World War II it was occupied by German troops. On February 19, 1944 the district center was transferred from Molvotitsy to Maryovo. On July 5, 1944, Molvotitsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast.[3] On December 10, 1962 Molvotitsky District was abolished, and Maryovo became a part of Demyansky District. On December 30 the district was re-established as Maryovsky District, and Maryovo became the district center again.[4]
