Шаблон:Quote box The village of Dubrovo is known since 1500. By the 19th centuries, there were two villages, Vyborgskaya Dubrovka and Moskovskaya Dubrovka. In the end of the 19th century, it was a part of Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate (since 1914, Petrograd Governorate).[1] On February 14, 1923 Shlisselburgsky Uyezd was merged into Petrogradsky Uyezd. In January 1924 the uyezd and the governorate were renamed Leningradsky. On May 26, 1927 Moskovskaya Dubrovka was granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Dubrovka.[2]

The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[3] On August 19, 1930 Leninsky District was abolished and merged into newly established Leningradsky Prigorodny District with the administrative center in the city of Leningrad. On August 19, 1936 Leningradsky Prigorodny District was abolished, and the settlement was transferred into newly established Vsevolozhsky District, with the administrative center in the suburban settlement of Vsevolozhskoye.[4] Dubrovka was destroyed by the German army in World War II.
