History

[edit]

In 1894, the construction of the railway line between Vologda and Arkhangelsk started.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed] Kubino railway station, which was later renamed Leshchevo, was opened in this location in 1894; the station was renamed Kharovskaya in 1914.[11]

The settlement of Kharovskaya (Харовская), also known as Kharovsky (Харовский),[11] was founded in 1903 in relation with the construction of a glass factory.[3] In 1919, a saw mill was built.[3] Kharovsky belonged to Kadnikovsky Uyezd in Vologda Governorate.[12]

On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished, the governorates merged into Northern Krai, and Kharovsky District was established.[4] In 1932, Kharovskaya, the administrative center of the district, was granted work settlement status.[11] Construction of a number of industrial enterprises followed, including a milk factory.[3] In 1954, Kharovskaya was granted town status and given its present name.[4]
