history

The place goes back to a hermitage that was built in 1464 (according to other sources as early as 1417) by a monk from Veliky Ustyug in an area inhabited by Mari . The monk was later canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church as Barnabas von Wetluga (Russian Warnawa Wetluschski ); Warnawino is named after him. Later a monastery with a surrounding trading village was built. The monastery was closed in 1764. In 1778, under the name Warnawin, the place received city rights as the administrative seat of a Ujesd of the governorship, later the Kostroma governorate .

With the dissolution of the Ujesde in the 1920s, the place lost its town charter and was from then on under its current name as a village (selo). In 1929, however, it became the administrative seat again, now a Rajons named after him. As a result, the Rajon was dissolved again several times - the first time on July 25, 1931 - and created again; it has existed in its current form since January 11, 1965. Since 1961, Warnawino has had the status of an urban-type settlement.
