history

In place of today's settlement, the village Mostishchi was first mentioned in 1412 , where a wooden church was built and a monastery was founded. Remains of a later stone church and the monastery were discovered during excavations around the year 2000.

Later the village was named Pantschicha, in the 20th century the form Pankowka became common . From the 1970s, due to the location not far from the city of Novgorod, various industrial companies and a prefabricated housing estate were built , which on March 28, 1977 received the status of an urban-type settlement.
