History[edit]

The Lovat River was a part of the trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks, one of the oldest trading routes passing through Rus'. The settlement was first mentioned in 1144[3]asKholmsky pogost (Холмский погост).[citation needed] During the Middle Ages, the town, then a seat of the Princes of Kholm, withstood innumerable sieges by Lithuanians, Poles, and Swedes.

In 1777, it was elevated in status to that of an uyezd town[3]ofPskov Viceroyalty and given its present name.[citation needed] In 1796, it was transferred to Pskov Governorate.[3] In August 1927, the uyezds were abolished and, effective October 1, 1927, Kholmsky District was established, with the administrative center in Kholm.[11] Pskov Governorate was abolished as well and the district became a part of Velikiye Luki OkrugofLeningrad Oblast.[11] On June 3, 1929, Velikiye Luki Okrug was transferred to Western Oblast.[12] On July 23, 1930 the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[12] On January 29, 1935, the district became a part of the newly established Kalinin Oblast.

During World War II, it was occupied by the Wehrmacht from August 3, 1941 to February 21, 1944, when it was liberated. It was the scene of the Kholm Pocket from January 21 to May 5, 1942. The town was completely ruined and even now its current population is only a third of the pre-war one.

On July 5, 1944, the district was included in newly established Novgorod Oblast, but already on August 22, 1944 it was transferred to newly established Velikiye Luki Oblast.[13] On October 2, 1957, Velikiye Luki Oblast was abolished and Kholmsky District was transferred to Pskov Oblast.[14] On July 29, 1958, it was transferred to Novgorod Oblast and remained there ever since.[3][14]
