In the Middle Ages, on the Maconkalns hill, there was the Volkenberg castle of the Livonian Order .
In 1945, the Zosna village council was established in the Maltese parish of Rezekne county . After the cancellation of the volost division in 1949, it was part of the Maltese (1949-1959) and Rezekne districts.
In 1957, the territory of the liquidated collective farm “Sarkanays carogs” of the Dorotpol village council was annexed to the Zosnsky village council. In 1959 - part of the liquidated Lipush village council. In 1963 - the territory of the collective farm "March 8" of the Pushsky Village Council. In 1971, the territory of the "Malta" state farm was transferred to the Spelsky Village Council, in the same year the Zosnsky Village Council was renamed the Makonkalnsky Village Council [3] .
In 1990, the Makonkalnsky Village Council was reorganized into a parish. In 2009, at the end of the Latvian administrative and territorial reform, the Makonkalns parish became part of the Rezekne Territory.
