Fornosovo was founded in 1948 to serve peat extraction in the area. On January 18, 1949, it was granted urban-type settlement status.[9][10]

Industry

Currently, there are enterprises of timber, construction, and food industries, as well as sand production. Peat extraction has been discontinued.[11]

Transportation

Fornosovo is located at the crossing of two railways: one, in the southern direction, connects Saint Petersburg with Veliky Novgorod, and another one, in the western direction, encircles Saint Petersburg from the south and connects Ulyanovka and Tosno with Gatchina and Kingisepp. There are two railway stations in the settlement: Novolisino railway station serves both railways, whereas 46 km railway platform is located in the southern part of the settlement and serves only the Novgorod direction.

The settlement is connected by roads with Saint Petersburg via Pavlovsk in the north and with the A120 highway which encircles Saint Petersburg in the south.

The monument to the pilot Mikhail Sharonov who died by bumping his fighter into a German convoy in 1944 is protected as a historical monument.[12] Close to Fornosovo, in the village of Novolisino, the park of the former estate of Knyazhe-Lisino is protected as a cultural monument of local significance. No buildings of the estate survived.[13]
