Vozhega is located several kilometers off the course of the Vozhega River, on the right bank of the river. Population:
History
The area was sparsely populated until the end of 19th century, since it was far from all trade routes connecting Northern Russia with the White Sea. 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 present area of the district. Vozhega was founded in 1895 as a railway station. It was included in Kadnikovsky Uyezd of Vologda Governorate. By 1929, the population of Vozhega, then the settlement at the railway station, was around 800.
On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished, the governorates merged into the Northern Krai, and Vozhegodsky District was established among others, with the administrative center in the settlement at the Vozhega railway station. It became a part of Vologda Okrug of Northern Krai. In 1932, Vozhega became an urban-type settlement.
