Krakolye was first mentioned in Joan Blaeu's Livonian Atlas in 1654 as Kargalse.[3] It was one of the two villages where the Votic language was still spoken; the other was Luzhitsy in the Leningrad Oblast.
The village was merged into Ust-Luga effective October 24, 2008.[1]
Votic teacher and linguist Dmitri Tsvetkov (1890–1930) was born in Krakolye.
