History

In the 19th century, Palkino was a selo, a seat of Palkinskaya Volost of Pskovsky Uyezd in Pskov Governorate. On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, and Palkinsky District was established, with the administrative center in Palkino. The governorates were abolished as well, and the district became a part of Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On September 20, 1931 Palkinsky District was abolished and merged into Ostrovsky District. On February 15, 1935, the district was re-established. Between March 22, 1935 and September 19, 1940, Palkinsky District was a part of Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast, one of the okrugs abutting the state boundaries of the Soviet Union. Between August 1941 and July 1944, the district was occupied by German troops. On August 23, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Pskov Oblast. On October 15, 1985 Palkino was granted status of an urban-type settlement.[6]
