Peniki (Russian: Пе́ники, romanized: Péniki, IPA: [ˈpʲenʲɪkʲɪ] , Template:Lang-fi[1]) is a rural locality (a village) in Lomonosovsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Municipally, it is a part and the administrative center of Penikovskoye Rural Settlement.
Name of the village
The village is known since the 19th century. During the Emancipation Reform of 1861 in the Russian Empire, the local Orthodox priest Vasily wrote a description of the poverty and profiteering of the country's folks, which has been preserved.[3] The priest often report about the peasants, so the landlords knew all about their faults.[3]
At this time, a manor was built here, at which the owner bred hounds and sold puppies. It is from this enterprise that the town's name derives - Peniki (Penniki, Penikkala), which is from the Finnish word penikka, which means "a puppy."

The climate in the village of Peniki is close to a cool temperate climate with moderately warm summers and moderately cold winters. Under the Köppen climate classification, Peniki is classified as Dfb, a humid continental climate. The winters are warmer here than in Moscow due to its closeness to the Gulf of Finland.

Thus, the territory of the Lomonosov district of the Leningrad region (including the territory of the modern Peniki) was the property of Sweden. It was the historical region of Ingria in the period of 1617–1721. Then the territory was returned to Russian Empire.
The village of Peniki is marked on the Semi-topographical map of 1810.[5]
On the "Topographic Map of the Neighborhoods of Saint Petersburg" of the Military Topographic Depot of the General Staff of 1817, the village of Peniki is mentioned. It further provides that in Peniki were 16 households.[6]
The village of Peniki with 16 households is also mentioned on the "Topographical map of the environs of St. Petersburg" by Friedrich von Schubert in 1831:[7]
Peniki is a village which belongs to the Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich, the number of inhabitants by the revision: 44 males, 48 females (1838 year).[8]
As indicated in the explanatory text to the ethnographic map of Saint Petersburg Governorate by P. I.

In 1860, the village of Peniki had 25 households.[10]
On the map of 1863 the village is marked as Penniki, but on the map drawn in 1925, the name Peniki started being used.
