history

The founding year of the place is 1494, when it was first mentioned in a document of Prince Worotynski, one of the rulers of the principalities on the Upper Oka . According to other sources, a place called Chwostowicze in the Principality of Karachev is already mentioned in Polish sources, which refer to the first half of the 14th century. From this period the area belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . In the course of the Russo-Lithuanian wars , the place came to the short-lived Principality of Kaluga in 1505 , and in 1518 to the Grand Duchy of Moscow . In the time of the chaos (Smuta) around 1600 it belonged again to Poland-Lithuania before it finally came into Russian possession.

In 1708 Chwastowitschi was assigned to the Ujesd Koselsk of the Moscow Governorate , from 1719 as part of the Kaluga Province, and in 1777 after various administrative changes to the newly created Ujesd Schisdra . This initially belonged to the governorship of Kaluga, from 1796 to the governorate of Kaluga . In documents from this period the place is referred to as Fostowitschi , later until the early 20th century as Chwostowitschi. Economically significant and relatively populous, the village became in the 19th century the center of a Wolost (Milejewskaja wolost) named after the 7 km northeastern village of Milejewo .

From the Volost and parts of the surrounding area a Rajon named after the place was formed on July 12, 1929, with its seat in Chwastowitschi. During World War II , the village was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on October 7, 1941 and recaptured by the Red Army on August 15, 1943 as part of their Oryol Operation (also known as Operation Kutuzov ).

From the beginning of 1963 to the beginning of 1965 the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and its territory was annexed to the northwestern neighboring Schisdrinski rajon.
