Near the highest point of the Moscow highway; from Valdayka Nikolaevskaya station railway- 38 versts. The village of V. is mentioned in chronicles for the first time in the city, and in the city for the first time the church of St. Paraskeva. It arose because during the independence of Novgorod, herds of cattle were driven from Moscow to Novgorod through the area where the city is now, and on the shore of Lake Valdai there was a customs house for collecting duties. Ivan the Terrible, during one of his campaigns against Novgorod, burned this village. During the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich, Poles were evicted here, the memory of whom remained in the name of Panskaya Street, and two families from Ostashkov; the descendants of the latter (Ostashi) multiplied so much that they formed a separate settlement. In the year Valdai was devastated by the Swedes. In the year V., which belonged to the palace department, was given, at the request of Patriarch Nikon, to the Iversky Monastery, which owned it until the city of Valdai was made a city, and after 2 years it was assigned to the Novgorod province. A wooden palace was built on the site of the ancient customs house, which was later turned into an almshouse. Before the construction of the railway, V. conducted a significant trade in bread, wooden utensils and salt. The following trades flourished at that time: baking pretzels (bagels), blacksmithing, which has existed since ancient times, and the preparation of the famous Valdai Yamsk bells. Currently, all these fisheries have fallen. In the city there was only one bell factory, with production worth 1,400 rubles. per year, with 3 workers. Number of inhabitants: 4432 people; city school and women's two-year school. There are 2 churches in the city. There are 134 acres of city land. See Novgorod Governorate.

Putyatin in Bologoe and other studies proved the existence of the Stone Age in this area (this will be discussed in more detail when describing the Novgorod province). The abundance of mounds scattered throughout the county shows that various peoples lived in the county. In the Novolacki parish there is a special type of cemetery; they are lined with stones of considerable size in the form of sarcophagi and with crosses. Many people have preserved stories about the Lithuanian devastation.

These hills from the Demyansky district pass, along the southeastern shore of Lake Velye, to the Valdai district, where they go from south to north, accompanied by a number of lakes. The hills of Valdai district, often cut through by deep hollows, are rich in granite boulders. The soil in mountainous areas is gristly, and along the banks of rivers and streams for the most part clayey-sandy. The Msta River touches the district with its left bank for 14 versts. Its tributaries include the floating Bereza and Shlina. Of the other rivers, the most remarkable are Borovka, near Lake Peretno, Valdaika, Kolomenets, and in general there are many rivers in the district, albeit small ones.
