history

Two small villages in the area of ​​today's town were first mentioned in documents in 1498. In the middle of the 16th century, Pljussa was already described as a church village. During the Livonian War , the villages were destroyed in 1581/1582 or were not repopulated until 1629.

After the railway line Saint Petersburg  - Warsaw passed by in 1859, the villages and the settlement at the railway station gradually grew together. The place belonged from the 18th century to the Ujesd Luga of the Saint Petersburg governorate .

On August 1, 1927, Pljussa became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. During the Second World War , Strugi Krasnye was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from July 12, 1941 to February 18, 1944 . On March 5, 1971, the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
