"fast"). The first mention of the city is found in the Laurentian Chronicle in 1074 and is associated with the name of St. Isaac of the Caves. Until the 12th century, the city belonged to Novgorod, then became part of Smolensk, and from the middle of the 12th century it became the center of an independent principality. The first prince was Mstislav Rostislavich the Brave. In the middle of the XIV century Toropets became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in 1503 it was conquered by Russian troops, and in the same year Toropets county was formed. In 1708-1719 it was part of the Ingermanland province, in 1719-1722 it was annexed to the Velikiye Luki province of St. Petersburg province. In 1777, Toropets became a county town of the Pskov governorate and existed there until 1927.
