[edit] History
The settlement of Chudovsky Yam (Russian: Чудовский Ям) was first mentioned in chronicles in 1539. By the 18th century, it developed into a big selo with a postal service station. The development of the district was further aided by the construction of the Moscow - Saint Petersburg Railway, which opened in 1851. The railway to Novgorod was completed in 1871. In particular, a match factory, two cement-making factories, and a number of porcelain factories were built.[8] It received its present name in 1851. By the beginning of the 19th century, Chudovo was the administrative center of Chudovskaya Volost of Novgorodsky Uyezd , Novgorod Governorate.
On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, and Chudovsky District was established, with the center in Chudovo. Novgorod Governorate was abolished as well, and the district belonged to Novgorod Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. In 1928, Chudovo was granted an urban-type settlement status, and in 1937, it was became a town.[6]
During the Second World War, between autumn of 1941 and the beginning of 1944, Chudovo was occupied by German troops. On July 5, 1944, Chudovsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast and remained there ever since.[6]

[edit] Industry
The largest industries of the town include the match factory, the plywood factory, and the Cadbury Schweppes factory. The former glass-making factory in Chudovo was reoriented to production of thermoisolating materials.[9]
[edit] Transport
Chudovo lies on the M10 federal highway connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg, 80 kilometers (50 mi) north of Veliky Novgorod and 100 kilometers (62 mi) south of St. Petersburg. It is an important railway junction, at the intersection of the Moscow-Saint Petersburg Railway (inaugurated in 1851) and the Veliky Novgorod–Volkhov branch (railway between Chudovo and Staraya Russa via Veliky Novgorod was opened on July 12, 1878; however, the segment beyond Veliky Novgorod was destroyed during World War II and never restored).
[edit] Culture and recreation
There are two objects in Chudovo classified as cultural and historical heritage of federal significance and seven more objects of local significance.[10] The federal monuments are the house of Nikolay Nekrasov and the school building constructed by him. The local monuments are monuments to soldiers fallen during the Second World War.
There is a museum of Nikolay Nekrasov in the house where he used to work in summertime between 1871 and 1876. In the nearby village of Syabrenitsy there is a museum of the writer Gleb Uspensky situated in the house where he used to live in the 1880s. Count Arakcheyev's residence Gruzino is several miles away. The Chudovo District Museum was opened in 1987 and displays collections of local interest.[11]
