History
The area of Verkhovazhsky District, including the lands around the Kuloy River, was settled by the 13th century and was historically controlled by the Novgorod Republic before being transferred to the Grand Duchy of Moscow after the fall of Novgorod. During the administrative reforms of 1708 carried out by Peter the Great, the region was included in Archangelgorod Governorate. In 1780, this was transformed into Vologda Viceroyalty, which became Vologda Governorate in 1796.[3]
On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished and Velsky Uyezd was split into Velsky, Verkhovazhsky, and Ustyansky Districts. In 1937, following the dissolution of Northern Oblast, Verkhovazhsky District became part of the newly formed Vologda Oblast.
Economy
The economy of Verkhovazhsky District is based primarily on the timber industry. Traditional agricultural activities include cattle breeding and flax cultivation, which has historically been a staple occupation of the local peasantry.[4]
