History

Krakolye was first mentioned in the Joan Blaeu's Livonian Atlas in 1654 as Kargalse.[3] The village was mostly notable as being one of the two villages where the Votic language was still spoken (the other one being Luzhitsy, Kingiseppsky District, Leningrad Oblast). The village was merged into Ust-Luga effective October 24, 2008.[1]

Notable people

Votic teacher and linguist Dmitri Tsvetkov (1890–1930) was born in Krakolye.
