History
[edit]
Grand Duchy of Moscow 1539–1547
Tsardom of Russia 1547–1721
Russian Empire 1721–1917
Soviet Russia 1917–1922
Soviet Union 1922–1991
The village of Chudovo was first mentioned in chronicles in 1539.[3] By the mid-18th century, it developed into a big selo with a postal service station.[3] By the beginning of the 19th century, Chudovo was the seat of Chudovskaya Volost of Novgorodsky Uyezd in Novgorod Governorate. The development of the area was further aided by the construction of the Moscow–St. Petersburg Railway, which opened in 1851.[3] The railway to Novgorod was completed in 1871.[3] A match factory, two cement-making factories, and a number of porcelain factories were built.[3]
In August 1927, the uyezds were abolished and, effective October 1, 1927, Chudovsky District was established, with the administrative center in Chudovo.[12] Novgorod Governorate was abolished as well and the district became a part of Novgorod Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[12] On June 25, 1928, Chudovo was granted urban-type settlement status;[12] town status was granted on July 20, 1937.[4] On July 23, 1930 the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[12]
During World War II, between August 20, 1941, and January 29, 1944, Chudovo was occupied by German troops. On July 5, 1944, Chudovsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast and has remained there ever since.[13]
Administrative and municipal status
[edit]Within the framework of administrative divisions, Chudovo serves as the administrative center of Chudovsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Chudovsky District as the town of district significance of Chudovo.[2] As a municipal division, the town of district significance of Chudovo is incorporated within Chudovsky Municipal District as Chudovo Urban Settlement.[7]

Transportation
[edit]Chudovo lies on the federal M10 Highway connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg, 80 kilometers (50 mi) north of Veliky Novgorod and 100 kilometers (62 mi) south of St. Petersburg. It is an important railway junction at the intersection of the Moscow–St. Petersburg Railway (inaugurated in 1851) and the Veliky Novgorod–Volkhov branch (railway between Chudovo and Staraya Russa via Veliky Novgorod was opened on July 12, 1878; however, the segment beyond Veliky Novgorod was destroyed during World War II and never restored).
Culture and recreation
[edit]There are two objects in Chudovo classified as cultural and historical heritage of federal significance and seven more objects of local significance.[15] The federal monuments are the house of Nikolay Nekrasov and the school building constructed by him. The local monuments are monuments to soldiers fallen during World War II.
The museum of Nikolay Nekrasov is in the house where he used to work in summertime between 1871 and 1876. In the nearby village of Syabrenitsy there is a museum of the writer Gleb Uspensky, housed in the building where he used to live in the 1880s. Count Alexey Arakcheyev's residence Gruzino is several miles away. The Chudovsky District Museum was opened in 1987 and displays collections of local interest.[16]
