history

The place was founded in the second half of the 18th century.

On May 13, 1924, the place came to the newly formed Wolowo-Karassjowski rajon, based in the Karassi station settlement just under 10 km to the south. On November 29, 1926, the administrative headquarters were moved to Wolowo and the Rajon was renamed accordingly. During the Second World War , Wolowo was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from the end of October 1941 , but was recaptured by the Red Army in mid-December 1941 during their counter-offensive in the Battle of Moscow .

Since 1970 Volovo has had the status of an urban-type settlement.
