history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1859. It gained importance after the Moscow  - Minsk  - Warsaw railway line passed by in the early 1870s.

On October 1, 1929, Kardymowo became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajons named after him, which was dissolved in 1930 but re-established in 1935.

During the Second World War , Kardymowo was twice involved in bitter fighting. At the end of July 1941, German Wehrmacht troops closed the ring to large Red Army units in the area north and east of Smolensk. The fighting in the area, later known as the Battle of Smolensk, dragged on until September 1941, when the German troops managed to advance towards Moscow. On September 23, 1943, Kardymowo was retaken by the Red Army as part of the Smolensk Operation , where a German line of defense along the Chmost River had to be overcome.

In 1979 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
