History

Likhoslavl developed on the spot where localities of Ostashkovo (Осташково, founded in 1624) and Likhoslavl (first mentioned in the early 19th century) once stood.[3] Likhoslavl grew up as a settlement serving the railway station. It was a part of Novotorzhsky Uyezd of Tver Governorate.[12] It was granted town status in 1925.[3]

On July 12, 1929, the governorates and uyezds were abolished.[13] Likhoslavlsky District, with the administrative center in Likhoslavl, was established within Tver Okrug of Moscow Oblast.[13] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[14] On January 29, 1935, Likhoslavlsky District was transferred to newly established Kalinin Oblast.[13] On July 9, 1937, Likhoslavlsky District was included into Karelian National Okrug, which was established as a Tver Karelians autonomy,[13] and became its administrative center.[15] On February 7, 1939, the okrug was abolished.[13] In February 1, 1963, during the abortive administrative reform by Nikita Khrushchev, Likhoslavlsky District was merged into Torzhoksky District, but on March 4, 1964 it was re-established.[13][3] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.[16]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Likhoslavl serves as the administrative center of Likhoslavlsky District.[6] As an administrative division, it is, together with three rural localities, incorporated within Likhoslavlsky District as Likhoslavl Urban Settlement.[2] As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban settlement status and is a part of Likhoslavlsky Municipal District.[7]
