History
Staraya Toropa was founded in 1901 as a settlement serving a railway station on the railway connecting Moscow and Ventspils. In 1906, Toropets railway station was opened on the railway connecting Bologoye and Velikiye Luki, and to avoid confusion, Toropa was renamed Staraya Toropa. It belonged to Toropetsky Uyezd of Pskov Governorate.
