history

The official, but not exactly certain, founding year is 1453. In the 14th to 15th centuries, the Novgorod Republic built a number of wooden fortresses ( Ostrogi ) in this area on its eastern border to protect against incursions by Kazan Tatars and other people who settled across the border Nationalities as well as Muscovites . The fortification with the surrounding village had different names, including Kokschengski gorodok ("Kokschenga town"). By the end of the 17th century at the latest, the fortresses lost their military importance and were given up; Tarnogski Gorodok ("Tarnoga town" after the river that flows into it) was called pogost at this time . These settlements usually consisted of a church and cemetery for the surrounding villages and a few residential buildings; a market took place there once a year. Only in the 1890s did the importance of the place grow again after it was chosen as the seat for the Shevdenitskaya wolost des Ujesds Totma of the Vologda governorate . By the beginning of the First World War , the population grew to around 100.

On January 25, 1935, Tarnogski Gorodok became the seat of a newly formed Northern Krai Rajon , from which a little later the Northern Oblast and then in this part the Vologda Oblast emerged.
