History
Maryovo was mentioned in a chronicle in 1495 as Maryova. At the time, it was a part of Derevskaya Pyatina of the
Novgorod Republic. Between 1612 and 1617, during the
Ingrian War, it was occupied by Polish and Swedish troops. By 1620, it was completely depopulated and had to be repopulated again. In the course of the
administrative reform carried out in 1708 by
Peter the Great, the area was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as
Saint Petersburg Governorate). In 1727, separate
Novgorod Governorate was split off. Until and 1824, Maryovo was a part of Starorussky Uyezd of
Novgorod Viceroyalty (since 1796 of Novgorod Governorate). In 1824, it was transferred to Demyansky Uyezd, which was split off Starorussky Uyezd.
