## History

## Economy

### Industry

The biggest industrial enterprise in Priladozhsky is the Sinyavinskaya Broiler Farm.

### Transportation

The M18 highway, which connects Saint Petersburg and Murmansk, runs north of Priladozhsky.

In the beginning of the 19th century, a system of canals bypassing Lake Ladoga were built, which at the time were a part of Mariinsk Canal System, connecting the Neva and the Volga River. In particular, the New Ladoga Canal connects the Volkhov and the Neva. It replaced the Old Ladoga Canal, built by Peter the Great, which thus became disused and decayed. The canals collectively are known as the Ladoga Canal. Both canals run along the southern shore of Lake Ladoga, north of Priladozhsky.

## Culture and recreation

Priladozhsky contains four cultural heritage monuments classified as cultural and historical heritage of local significance. They commemorate the events of World War II.
