History

Konakovo Faience Factory

Konakovo was founded in 1806 as the selo of Kuznetsovo (Кузнецово).[8] The name originates from the last name Kuznetsov, who was one of the early owners. The selo was not doing very well and was almost deserted by the 1820s.[8] In 1826–1828, a faience factory was transferred there from the village of Domkino, about 30 kilometers (19 mi) east of Kuznetsovo.[8] The factory was built by merchant Auerbach in Domkino on the property which belonged to a local landowner, and by 1829 the lease agreement expired and was not extended.[8] In 1826, Auerbach bought all lands in and around Kuznetsovo.[8] In 1870, the factory was purchased by industrialist Matvey Kuznetsov (unrelated to Kuznetsov who gave the name to the village) and became known as Kuznetsov Faience Factory.[8] After 1918, the factory was nationalized, and one of its specializations was art production.[8] To this end, it established collaboration with many established Russian artists of the time.[8]

At the time, Kuznetsovo was a part of Korchevskoy Uyezd in Tver Governorate.[13] On May 30, 1922, Korchevskoy Uyezd was abolished and merged into Kimrsky Uyezd.[9] On July 14, 1925, Kuznetsovo was granted urban-type settlement status.[8]

On July 12, 1929, Tver Governorate was abolished, and the area was transferred to Moscow Oblast.[9] Uyezds were abolished as well, and Kuznetsovsky District, with the administrative center in the town of Korcheva, was established within Kimry Okrug of Moscow Oblast.[9] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[9] On February 26, 1930, Kuznetsovo was renamed Konakovo and Kuznetsovsky District was renamed Konakovsky,[9] to commemorate Porfiry Konakov, a participant of the Revolution of 1905.[8] On January 29, 1935, Kalinin Oblast was established, to which Konakovsky District was transferred.[9] In 1937, when the Ivankovo Reservoir was filled, Korcheva was submerged under water.[13] The administrative center of the district was transferred to Konakovo, which was granted town status on March 2, 1937.[13] On February 13, 1963, during the abortive administrative reform by Nikita Khrushchev, Konakovsky District was merged into Kalininsky District, but on January 12, 1965, it was re-established.[9] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.[citation needed]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Konakovo serves as the administrative center of Konakovsky District.[3] As an administrative division, it is, together with six rural localities, incorporated within Konakovsky District as Konakovo Urban Settlement.[2] As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban settlement status and is a part of Konakovsky Municipal District.[4]
