The city was founded in 1777 by decree of Empress Catherine II. The city received its name from a small appanage belonging to the Novgorod principality - Rzhev Empty. In ancient times, the land of Rzhev was located on the border - between the lands of Pskov, Novgorod and Lithuania, and repeatedly suffered from devastating raids during the wars, for which it began to be called Empty. Rzhev was founded in 1396 and was located sixty kilometers from modern Novorzhev. It was a small suburb with volosts attached to it. The wooden fortress with towers was surrounded by an earthen rampart and surrounded by a deep moat. In the fortress there was a suburban administration headed by a mayor, an ambush garrison, there were siege cells for the defenders, and a church. A continuous bell installed on the belfry notified the surrounding residents of the impending danger. At the very end of the 15th century, the Lithuanian prince Vitovt captured Velikie Luki, Rzhev, and Kholm. Being under the rule of Lithuania for more than a quarter of a century, Velikie Luki and Rzhev paid tribute to Novgorod. After the peace concluded between Lithuania and Novgorod in 1436, both cities returned to the Novgorod land. The fortresses of Pustorzhevsky district - Rzheva Pustaya, Zavolochye, Palaces - were attacked more than once by the Lithuanians. A particularly difficult test befell the people of Pskov during the Livonian War. Then this land was heavily devastated by the troops of Stefan Batory. In 1796, Novorzhev became a provincial town, and in 1802 it became a county town again. In 1821, there were 127 wooden and 3 stone houses and 896 inhabitants. At the beginning of the 20th century, the processing and marketing of flax, as well as handicrafts, were developed in Novorzhevo.

The city's coat of arms depicts flax - the main wealth of the region. Located far from the railways, Novorzhev developed very slowly in the 20th century. Now Novorzhev is the smallest city in the region in terms of population.

Historical sketch

In 1396, the Novgorodians founded the Rzhev fortress with the name from the anthroponym. Its position at the border where constant clashes between Veliky Novgorod and Lithuania took place led to the destruction and abandonment of the fortress, which led to the change of name to Rzhev Empty. After another destruction in 1536, the administration of Pustorzhevsky district was transferred to the Zavolochye fortress.

Rzheva empty or Zavolochye were assigned to the Ingermanland province (from 1710 - St. Petersburg) in 1708. When the Pskov governorship was formed in 1777, the district government was ordered to be transferred from Zavolochye to a new city on the river. Sort it out and name it Novorzhev; Accordingly, Pustorzhevsky district was renamed Novorzhevsky. The executors of the decree chose a different location for the new city - in the center of the county, at the Arsho churchyard, but the name Novorzhev was retained.
