History
Originally known as Kondyrevo (Кондырево), it was a votchina of Dmitry Kondyrin, a Russian voyevoda who was granted these lands for his service during the second war with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1500–1501. The settlement's name gradually changed to Kondrovo by the 1840s.
In 1790, a paper mill was built in the village, and by the end of the 19th century it became famous for its high quality paper.
During World War II, Kondrovo was occupied by the German Army from October 9, 1941 to January 19, 1942.
