history

The village was founded around 1717/1718 and was already listed as an important town on a map of the region in 1730. An early alternative name as Novo-Lopatino ("New Lopatino") suggests that it was founded by resettlers from one of the larger number of other villages of this name, probably from Lopatino near Gorodishche, about 50 km north . Until the end of the 19th century, Nikolskoje, after the name of the village church, was used as a further name .

From 1780 Lopatino belonged to the Ujesd Petrowsk of the Saratov governorate, from December 1796 to March 1797 briefly to the then temporarily disbanded Penza Governorate and then to the Saratov Governorate . In the 1870s it became the seat of a Volost. On July 23, 1928, Lopatino became the administrative seat of a Rajons newly created from the enlarged Volost. This was in the meantime dissolved from 1963 to 1965, and its territory was annexed to the Shemyscheiski rajon.
