Soltsy (Russian: Сольцы́) is a town and the administrative center of Soletsky District of Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Shelon River, 78 kilometers (48 mi) southwest of Veliky Novgorod. Its name owes to the nearby salt water springs. Population: 10,086 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 11,264 (2002 Census);[2] 11,782 (1989 Census).[4]
[edit] History
It was first mentioned in 1390. At that time it was an important point of the trade route between Novgorod and Pskov. In 1471, the Battle of Shelon between Muscovite forces led by Ivan III and the army of the Novgorod Republic took place near Soltsy, which marked the end of political independence of the Novgorod Republic.
The settlement gradually developed, and in 1914 was granted town status.
A key strategic military base, Soltsy-2 is located northeast of the town.
[edit] Transportation
The town is located along the Novgorod–Pskov highway, and the Saint Petersburg–Vitebsk railway.
