History

The settlement of Naziya was established on December 27, 1933 to facilitate the peat production which was carried out in the bogs south of the settlement. From the beginning, Naziya was established as a work settlement and was located close to the railroad station. On December 9, 1960 Mginsky District was abolished, and Naziya moved to Volkhovsky District.[2] On April 1, 1977 Kirovsky District with the administrative center in Kirovsk, essentially in the limits of former Mginsky District, was established by splitting off Volkhovsky and Tosnensky Districts.,[3] and Naziya became a part of Kirovsky District.

The settlements in the bogs (Rabochy Posyolok 1–5) which were used for peat extraction works formally belong to Naziya but are currently abandoned.
