History
eeditThe aurie o Verkhovazhye an the upper course o the Vaga wur awready populatit in the 13t century.[13] Due tae its location on ane o the main watterweys connectin central Roushie an the White Sea (it was controlled first bi Novgorodians, an efter the faw o Novgorod wis transferred tae the Grand Duchy o Moscow), an the later construction o the surface road connectin Moscow an Arkhangelsk, bi the 17t century Verkhovazhye became a major tradin dounset. In the 18t century, industrie wis introducit, which includit a distillery, an iron wirks, an a paper production plant. In the 18t century, Verkhovazhsky Posad (currently Verkhovazhye) wis ane o the main tradin touns in the Roushie North, hauldin twa annual fairs.[13]
In the course o the admeenistrative reform carriet oot in 1708 bi Peter the Great, the aurie wis includit intae Archangelgorod Govrenorate. In 1780, the govrenorate wis abolisht an transformit intae Vologda Viceryalty. The latter wis abolisht in 1796, an the pairt o it which includit Verkhovazhye became Vologda Govrenorate. Syne 1780, the upper Vaga launds wur pairt o Velsky Uyezd wi the seat in the toun o Velsk.
In 1929, several govrenorates, includin Vologda Govrenorate, wur mergit intae Northren Krai. On 15 Julie 1929, the uyezds wur abolisht, an Velsky Uyezd wis split intae Velsky, Verkhovazhsky, an Ustyansky Destricts. Verkhovazhsky Destrict became a pairt o Nyandoma Okrug o Northren Krai.
In 1930, the okrug wis abolisht, an the destrict wis subordinatit tae the central admeenistration o Northren Krai. On 30 Julie 1931, Verkhovazhsky Destrict wis mergit intae Velsky Destrict (wi the exception o Zhikhovsky Selsoviet, which wis transferred tae Totemsky Destrict), an on 25 Januar 1935, it wis re-establisht.[8][14] In 1936, the krai wis transformit intae Northren Oblast, which, in turn, wis split intae Arkhangelsk Oblast an Vologda Oblast in 1937. Verkhovazhsky Destrict remained in Vologda Oblast iver syne.
