Until the late 20th century,Pagolovo was the city's northern suburb. The name derives from Parkola, a Karelian place name. Since 1830 Pargolovo became a popular holiday destination. The influx of passengers traveling in the summer for a walk along the Vyborg highway was so great that in 1844 they opened the Spassky Stagecoach passenger line . In 1870, the Finnish railway passed through the territory of the Shuvalov estate. I. S. Turgenev , N. A. Nekrasov , A. N. Maykov , M. A. Balakirev , A. K. Glazunov , P. A. Fedotov , and the writer D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak lall had dachas here.... At the beginning of the 20th century, the villages of Starozhilivka, Kabalovka, and Zamanilovka, which were settled by peasants from Central Russian provinces, were included in Pargolov. Pargolovo was a family seat of the junior line of the Counts Shuvalov, starting with Peter Ivanovich Shuvalov who received the Pargolovo manor from Empress Elizabeth in 1746. Shuvalov Park also contains a network of old ponds; the Yellow Dacha, a wooden lodge designed by Maximilian Messmacher for his own family; the Parnassus hill, which used to offer views of the capital's downtown; and the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, built in the 1840s to a Gothic Revival design by Alexander Brullov. In this church, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov married Nadezhda Purgold in 1872.
