history
The village was founded in 1874 in connection with the construction of the railway line Pawelez - Tula - Kaluga - Vyazma (later part of the state Sysran -Wjasmaer railway). A station was opened there and named after the village of Fersikowo , which is located about three kilometers to the north and has been known since the 18th century , which is still the seat of the rural community Selo Fersikowo ("Village Fersikowo") today. The village was the seat of a Volost in the Ujesd Kaluga of the Kaluga Governorate at the beginning of the 20th century .
With the settlement of various industrial companies around the railway station, the settlement there became more important than the village and on July 12, 1929 the seat of a newly formed Rajon. However, this was dissolved again on February 1, 1931, and its territory was divided among the neighboring rajons ( Alexin , Kaluga and Tscherepet ). From 1935 the place belonged to the newly formed Dugninski rajon with its seat in the former urban-type Dugna settlement located twelve kilometers southeast on the right bank of the Oka .
During the Second World War Fersikowo was occupied by the German Wehrmacht at the end of October 1941 and was recaptured by the Red Army on December 26, 1941 during their counter-offensive in the Battle of Moscow .
On February 24, 1950, the Fersikowski rajon was rebuilt, within changed boundaries by being separated from the Dugninski rajon. This in turn was dissolved in 1959 and merged with the Fersikowski rajon. As part of an administrative reform in 2006, Fersikowo became the seat of the municipality of the same name (gorodskoje posselenije) and thus an urban-type settlement, but in 2011 it was again a rural settlement and accordingly the seat of a rural municipality.
