history

Shakhovskaya Local History Museum

The place was created in 1901 with the construction of the Moscow – Riga railway line as a station settlement . Schachowskaja was named after the princess Schachowskaja , who had owned the land near the place at that time. In 1929 Shakhovskaya became the administrative center of the newly formed Rajons. In 1930 the first machine-tractor station in the town was set up.

In the 1960s to 1970s, Shachowskaya was expanded considerably. In the process, several new districts were created, and later also a local museum.
