Ligovo
Ligovo (Russian: Лигово), known as Uritsk in Soviet times, is a historical area of the federal city of Saint Petersburg (Russia). It is located in the southern part of the city on the road leading to Petergof.
A settlement of east Slavs existed on the site of modern Ligovo from the 8th-9th centuries.[citation needed] Since then, Ligovo has been a court manor, an exemplary farm, a town, and a battleground during World War II. It is a suburb of Saint Petersburg, mainly composed of 1960s buildings. It is part of Uritsk Municipal Okrug, Krasnoselsky District.
Liiha is the name of the Izhorian village, which was mentioned for the first time in the records named Vodskaya pyatina in 1500.
The name is derived from a small river previously called Liiha (from Finnish: Liiha: dirt, slush). Nowadays, this is called the Dudergofka river. The settlement is shown on Swedish maps of the 15th century as "Liihala" or "Liihankulla" (i.e., Liihankylä) (kylä means village in Finnish).
For over 1,000 years, the East Slavs have lived peacefully along the Neva River and in areas on the southern coast of Gulf of Finland alongside the less numerous Baltic Finns. From the 12th century, these territories were part of the sizeable feudal state of the North-west of Russia — Lord of Great Novgorod (Russian: Господин Великий Новгород). By the 15th century, Novgorod territory became part of the Russian centralised state.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the expanding Swedish Empire spread to the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland. However, following the Great Northern War, Russian victory in 1721 ensured the return of these territories to the Russian crown.
In 1703, Peter I made Saint Petersburg his capital, and Ligovo became a suburb. During the 1710s, the emperor became involved in the development of the area: first, in 1712, he created an imperial farm to provide the imperial household with food, including a dairy farm and kitchen gardens. Then, in 1715, he dammed the river, creating a pond and mill, which survived until war damage in 1941.
Simultaneously, the Ligovsky channel was dug, which drained water from the Dudergofka and the artificial lake, and so provided water for Ligovo.
