Sukhoverkovo (Russian: Сухове́рково) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Kalininsky District of Tver Oblast, Russia, located approximately 40km (30miles) southwest of the city of Tver. Population:
Sukhoverkovo was founded as a settlement serving a peat extraction plant.[3] The name originates from the village of Sukhoverkovo, which was first mentioned in the end of the 19th century and was located in the area. In the 2000s, more than the half of the population of the settlement were retirees.[4]
The peat extraction plant went bankrupt in the 1990s. The only two industrial enterprises in Sukhoverkovo are a factory producing fish products and a curb production factory.[4]
Sukhoverkovo has access to roads which connect Tver with Rzhev and with Lotoshino. There is infrequent bus traffic connecting Sukhoverkovo and Tver.[4]
