History
[edit]Before 1945, there were several villages in the place of current urban-type settlement, including the village of Zharki. It belonged to Smolensk Governorate. In the end of the 1920s, a saw mill was built, and eventually it was connected with the railway to the main railroad connecting Moscow and Riga. The railway was in operation since 1930.[10]
On 12 July 1929, governorates and uyezds were abolished, and the area was included into Oktyabrsky District of Western Oblast. It belonged to Velikiye Luki Okrug.[11][12] On August 1, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were subordinated directly to the oblast. On 29 January 1935 Kalinin Oblast was established, and Oktyabrsky District was transferred to Kalinin Oblast.[11][13] During World War II, in 1941–1943, the area was occupied by German troops. On August 22, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Velikiye Luki Oblast. On 10 March 1945, Zharkovsky District with the center at the railway station of Zharki was established. In 1950, a number of villages were merged into the urban-type settlement of Zharkovsky, which became the administrative center of the district.[3] On October 2, 1957, Velikiye Luki Oblast was abolished, and Zharkovsky District was transferred to Kalinin Oblast. In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.[12]
