history

The place was created in connection with the construction of the Voronezh  - Rostov-on-Don railway line from 1869, which began operations there in 1871. The train station and the associated settlement on the border of the then Oblast of the Don Army (Oblast Woiska Donskowo) and the Charkow governorate were named after the ataman of the Don Cossacks , General Michail Tschertkow (1829-1905).

On January 10, 1934, Chertkowo became the administrative seat of a Rajon, which was also named after him, after it had existed since 1924 as Leono-Kalitwinski rajon with its center in Sloboda Mankowo-Kalitvenskaya , a few kilometers to the east . From 1929 to 1993 Chertkovo had the status of an urban-type settlement.
