Kharovsk () is a town and the administrative center of Kharovsky District in Vologda Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Kubena River, 90 km north of Vologda, the administrative center of the oblast. Population:

History

In 1894, the construction of the railway line between Vologda and Arkhangelsk started. It was decided that the railway should run over the shortest route rather than pass through existing settlements, and it was eventually built through the current location of Kharovsk. Kubino railway station, which was later renamed Leshchevo, was opened in this location in 1894; the station was renamed Kharovskaya in 1914.

The settlement of Kharovskaya (Харовская), also known as Kharovsky (Харовский), was founded in 1903 in relation with the construction of a glass factory. In 1919, a saw mill was built. Kharovsky belonged to Kadnikovsky Uyezd in Vologda Governorate.

On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished, the governorates merged into Northern Krai, and Kharovsky District was established. In 1932, Kharovskaya, the administrative center of the district, was granted work settlement status. Construction of a number of industrial enterprises followed, including a milk factory. In 1954, Kharovskaya was granted town status and given its present name.
