History

Krasnoborsk was founded in 1602 as Krasny Bor. From 17th century Krasny Bor held an annual trade fair. In 1780, it was renamed Krasnoborsk and was granted town rights as the seat of Krasnoborsky Uyezd in the newly established Vologda Viceroyalty. In 1796, the uyezd was abolished, and Krasnoborsk became a part of the Solvychegodsky Uyezd of the Vologda Governorate. In 1897, the population of Krasnoborsk was 671, and in 1917 it lost the town rights.[9] On April 10, 1924 the Krasnoborsky district was established, at the time as a part of the Northern Dvina Governorate.

Geography and location

Krasnoborsk is located on the left bank of the Northern Dvina River, between the confluences of the Nechmezh River (south) and Lyabla River (north), approximately opposite to the confluence of the Uftyuga, a major tributary of the Northern Dvina.
