It was founded in 1901 due to the construction of a railway[citation needed] and was granted town status in 1925.[7] At the time, it was the administrative center of Pustoshkinskaya Volost of Sebezhsky Uyezd in Pskov Governorate.[citation needed]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds and governorates were abolished and Pustoshkinsky District, with the administrative center in Pustoshka, was established as a part of Velikiye Luki Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[11] It included parts of former Nevelsky, Opochetsky, and Sebezhsky Uyezds.[12] On June 3, 1929, Pustoshkinsky District was transferred to Western Oblast.[12] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[11] On January 29, 1935, Western Oblast was abolished and the district was transferred to Kalinin Oblast, and on February 5 of the same year, Pustoshkinsky District became a part of Velikiye Luki Okrug of Kalinin Oblast,[11] one of the okrugs abutting the state boundaries of the Soviet Union. On May 4, 1938, the district was transferred to Opochka Okrug.[11] On February 5, 1941, the okrug was abolished.[11] Between July 16, 1941 and February 27, 1944, Pustoshka was occupied by German troops.[7] On August 22, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Velikiye Luki Oblast.[11] On October 2, 1957, Velikiye Luki Oblast was abolished and Pustoshkinsky District was transferred to Pskov Oblast.[11] The district was abolished on February 1, 1963 but reinstated on January 12, 1965.[11]
