History
It was founded in 1901 due to construction of the railway between Moscow and Riga. At the time, it was a part of Velikoluksky Uyezd in Pskov Governorate. The name is due to the nearby locality then known as Sokolniki, whose name in turn is derived from the Russian word "Russian: сокол" (sokol, meaning "falcon"), since the residents specialized on breeding falcons for hunting. Novosokolniki was granted town status in 1925.
