history

The place was first mentioned in 1495 as the village Parfejewo , in 1539 as Parfino, but on the left bank of the Lowat a little upstream and opposite the center of today's settlement. This grew around a plywood factory, which was opened there in 1910 after a railway line had passed at the end of the 19th century. On September 11, 1938, the factory settlement was given the status of an urban-type settlement.

During the Second World War , Parfino was occupied by the German Wehrmacht in August 1941 . The Red Army was able to recapture the settlement on February 9, 1942 on the northern flank of their offensive during the Battle of Demyansk . Until February 1944, Parfino was near the front that had come to a standstill east of the city of Staraya Russa , and was therefore badly affected.

On December 23, 1968 Parfino became the administrative seat of a Rajons named after him and spun off from the Starorusski rajon .
