The origin of Rameshki is unclear, since the settlement changed the name at some point. The village of Ramenki was mentioned in 1551, and it is possible that this is the same settlement which later became Rameshki.[9]
On July 12, 1929 the governorates and uyezds were abolished. Rameshkovsky District, with the administrative center in Rameshki, was established withinTver Okrug ofMoscow Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On January 29, 1935Kalinin Oblast was established, and Rameshkovsky District was transferred to Kalinin Oblast. On July 9, 1937 Rameshkovsky District was included intoKarelian National Okrug, which was established as aTver Karelians autonomy. On February 7, 1939 the okrug was abolished.[10] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.
A road connectingTver withVesyegonsk viaBezhetsk runs through Rameshki, where another road branches off north toMaksatikha.[11] There are also local roads, with bus traffic originating from Rameshki.
Rameshki contains six cultural heritage monuments of federal significance. They represent the ensemble of the 18th century Trinity Church and the 19th century Alexander Nevsky Church and Bell-Tower, as well as the monument toAlexey Smirnov, a military pilot and twice theHero of the Soviet Union.[12]
