Population:

History

It traces its history to 1492, when a patrol station was set up to protect the trade route heading from Moscow northward. In 1780, it became the seat of Kadnikovsky Uyezd of Vologda Viceroyalty (since 1796—Vologda Governorate) and was granted town status. The uyezd, one of the ten in the governorate, comprised vast areas in the central part of modern Vologda Oblast east and northeast of Lake Kubenskoye, as well as the south of modern Arkhangelsk Oblast. However, when a railway was constructed in 1894 from Vologda north to Arkhangelsk, the route bypassed Kadnikov. In the 20th century, the population of Kadnikov declined while that of neighboring Sokol, which is located 12 km to the northwest, has grown, and Kadnikov lost its significance as the administrative center. When the uyezds were abolished on July 15, 1929, Kadnikov was included into Sverdlovsky District (later renamed Sokolsky District) of Northern Krai.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated within Sokolsky District as the town of district significance of Kadnikov. As a municipal division, the town of district significance of Kadnikov, together with Kadnikovsky and Zamoshsky Selsoviets of Sokolsky District (which comprise, correspondingly, twenty-two and eighteen rural localities, for the total of forty rural localities), is incorporated within Sokolsky Municipal District as Kadnikov Urban Settlement.

Economy

Industry

There are timber industry and food industry enterprises in Kadnikov.

Transportation

Several kilometers northwest from Kadnikov, in Chekshino, another highway branches off east and runs to Totma and Veliky Ustyug. It provides the shortest connection between Vologda and the destinations in the eastern districts of Vologda Oblast, in particular, Nikolsk, Nyuksenitsa, and Kichmengsky Gorodok.
