History

Maksatikha was first mentioned in 1545.[8] In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, it was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate), but in 1727 it was transferred to Moscow Governorate. In 1775, Tver Viceroyalty was formed, and Maksatikha was transferred to Tver Viceroyalty. In 1796, Tver Viceroyalty was transformed into Tver Governorate.[9] Maksatikha belonged to Bezhetsky Uyezd.

Since 1924, Maksatikha was the center of Maksatikha Volost of Bezhetsky Uyezd of Tver Governorate, and in 1928, it was granted urban-type settlement status.[10]

On July 12, 1929 the governorates and uyezds were abolished. Maksatikhinsky District, with the administrative center in Maksatikha, was established within Bezhetsk Okrug of Moscow Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On January 29, 1935 Kalinin Oblast was established, and Maksatikhinsky District was transferred to Kalinin Oblast.[9]

On July 9, 1937 Maksatikhinsky District was included into Karelian National Okrug, which was established as a Tver Karelians autonomy. On February 7, 1939 the okrug was abolished.[9] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.
