In the 19th century, Palkino was a selo, a seat of
Palkinskaya Volost of
Pskovsky Uyezd in
Pskov Governorate. On August 1, 1927, the
uyezds were abolished, and Palkinsky District was established, with the administrative center in Palkino. The governorates were abolished as well, and the district became a part of
Pskov Okrug of
Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the
okrugs were also abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the
oblast. On September 20, 1931 Palkinsky District was abolished and merged into
Ostrovsky District. On February 15, 1935, the district was re-established. Between March 22, 1935 and September 19, 1940, Palkinsky District was a part of
Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast, one of the okrugs abutting the state boundaries of the
Soviet Union. Between August 1941 and July 1944, the district was occupied by
German troops. On August 23, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Pskov Oblast. On October 15, 1985 Palkino was granted status of an urban-type settlement.[3]
