History

In the 19th century, the village Volot was a part of Starorussky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. In 1897, a railroad connecting Bologoye and Pskov was opened, and Volot became one of the sixteen railway stations. Later, the settlement at the railway station became the settlement of Volot. On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, and Volotovsky District was established, with the center in the railway station of Volot. Novgorod Governorate was abolished as well, and the district belonged to Novgorod Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930 the okrugs were abolished, and the districts became directly subordinate to the oblast. On January 1, 1932 Volotovsky District was abolished and split between Dedovichsky, Dnovsky, Soletsky, and Starorussky Districts. On February 15, 1935 it was re-established. Between 1941 and 1944 Volot was occupied by German troops. In the district, an extended underground resistance organization was active. On July 5, 1944, Volot and Volotovsky District were transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast.[7]
