History

A populated place on the territory of modern Otradnoye was first mentioned in 1708[2] as a village of Ivanovskaya (Ива́новская) at the confluence of the Neva and the Tosna Rivers.[citation needed] In 1784, the land was acquired by empress Catherine the Great and a residence known as Pella estate was established. The estate was mostly destroyed on the orders of Paul I.

In the 19th century, the area was a part of Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate.[citation needed] On February 14, 1923, Shlisselburgsky Uyezd was merged into Petrogradsky Uyezd.[10] In January 1924, the uyezd was renamed Leningradsky.[10]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Mginsky District, with the administrative center in the settlement of Mga, was established. Ivanovskoye became a part of Mginsky District.[citation needed] The governorates were also abolished and the district became a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[11] On August 15, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[12] On June 16, 1940, the settlement of Otradnoye was granted urban-type settlement status.[11] Between September 1941 and January 1944, during World War II, both Ivanovskoye and Otradnoye were occupied by German troops.[11] On December 23, 1957, the selo of Ivanovskoye was granted urban-type settlement status.[11] On December 9, 1960, Mginsky District was abolished and split between Volkhovsky and Tosnensky Districts; Ivanovskoye remained in Tosnensky District.[11]

The modern town of Otradnoye was established in 1970 by merging of the urban-type settlements of Otradnoye and Ivanovskoye.[2] On April 1, 1977, Kirovsky District with the administrative center in Kirovsk, essentially in the limits of former Mginsky District, was established by splitting off Volkhovsky and Tosnensky Districts,[13] and Otradnoye was included into the district.
