Tosno (Russian: То́сно) is a town and the administrative center of Tosnensky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Tosna River, 53 kilometers (33 mi) southeast of the center of St. Petersburg. Population: 39,101 (2010 Census);[3] 38,683 (2002 Census);[6] 32,459 (1989 Census).[7]
History
The village of Tosno was first mentioned in Russian chronicles in 1500. It was a part of Vodskaya Pyatina, one of the five pyatinas into which Novgorod Lands were divided. 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 Saint Petersburg Governorate). 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 railroad connecting Tosno with Saint Petersburg and Chudovo opened.[8] In the 19th century, Tosno was a part of Sankt-Peterburgsky Uyezd (renamed in 1913 Petrogradsky Uyezd and in 1924 Leningradsky Uyezd; the governorate was accordingly renamed Petrogradsky in 1913 and Leningradsky in 1924).[9]
On August 1, 1927 the uyezd were abolished, and Kolpinsky District was established, with the administrative center in the town of Kolpino. The governorate was abolished as well, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Tosno became a part of Kolpinsky District.[10] On August 19, 1930 Kolpinsky District was abolished, and Tosno became the administrative center of newly established Tosnensly District. On August 20, 1935 Tosno was granted urban-type settlement status. Between 28 August 1941 and 26 January 1944, during World War II, Tosno was occupied by German troops and largely destroyed, but rebuilt after the war. On February 1, 1963 Tosno was granted town status.[5]
