The first school was built in the settlement in 1914 and the first church in 1916.

During the Russian Civil War , the place was fiercely contested and was captured by the British and White Guards in September 1919. After the liberation of the place on February 12, 1920, the settlement was largely destroyed and had to be rebuilt. At the beginning of the 1920s, the wood industry settled in the area. There were other small work settlements on the railway lines around Plesezkaya, which were combined in 1924 to form the Plessezkaya wolost administrative unit with the Navolok administrative center. Two years later the Plessezkaja wolost was placed under the administration of the Arkhangelski ujesd as Plessezkaja ukrupnennaja wolost . The administrative center of the Volost became the Plesetskaya settlement. In 1926 a sawmill was built in the settlement, which has also exported wood since 1932.
