History

In 1953, preparatory works started from the Zaplyusskiye Mkhi peat deposit. In 1955, a settlement of Zaplyusye was founded to serve the production. At the time, it was already a part of Plyussky District of Pskov Oblast. The production started in 1958. The entire production of the deposit was to serve the city of Leningrad, and the peat plant was a part of Lentorf, the enterprise producing peat in Leningrad Oblast.[3] In 1961, Zaplyusye was granted urban-type settlement status. It became the first urban-type settlement in the district: the district's administrative center, Plyussa, remained a rural locality until 1971.[4]

Economy

Industry

Zaplyusye is essentially centered on a single enterprise, Rostorfinvest, which specializes in peat production.
