history

The place was first mentioned in the Nikon Chronicle from the 16th century, in which 1209 is given as the year of foundation of the place. It was initially six kilometers upstream on the right bank, where today the village of Stary Kadom ("Old Kadom") is located. In the 15th century, due to frequent floods, Kadom was moved to the more favorable current location and a fortress was built there. From that time until the end of the 17th century, Kadom belonged to the Tatar Principality of Kassimow , a fief of the Grand Duchy of Moscow .

In 1779 Kadom received city rights as the administrative seat of a Ujesd of the governorship of Tambov (later Tambov governorate ). It lost its administrative function as early as 1787, but remained a town until 1926. However, the economic development stagnated, especially since the place was largely bypassed by the railway lines built in the 19th century.

On July 12, 1929, Kadom became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him. In 1958 it received urban-type settlement status.
