History
The village of Tosno was first mentioned in Russian chronicles in 1500.[2] It was a part of Vodskaya Pyatina, one of the five pyatinas into which Novgorod Lands were divided.[10] In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, Tosno was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as St. Petersburg Governorate).[citation needed] Its development in the 18th and 19th centuries was mainly due to its geographic location on the road between the two Russian capitals. From 1774, it was a station at the yam route. In 1849, the railway connecting Tosno with St. Petersburg and Chudovo opened.[10] In the 19th century, Tosno was a part of Tsarskoselsky Uyezd (renamed in 1918 Detskoselsky Uyezd)[citation needed];[11] the governorate was accordingly renamed Petrogradsky in 1913[citation needed] and Leningradsky in 1924).[11]
On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Kolpinsky District, with the administrative center in the town of Kolpino, was established.[12] The governorates were also abolished and the district became a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[12] Tosno became a part of Kolpinsky District.[12] On August 19, 1930, Kolpinsky District was abolished[12] and Tosno became the administrative center of newly established Tosnensky District.[3] On August 20, 1935, Tosno was granted urban-type settlement status.[3] Between August 28, 1941 and January 26, 1944, during World War II, Tosno was occupied by German troops and largely destroyed, but rebuilt after the war.[13] On February 1, 1963, Tosno was granted town status.[3]
