[edit] History
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 current location of Kharovsk. The settlement of Kharovsky was founded in 1903 in relation with the construction of a glass factory. In 1919, a saw mill was open.[6] Kharovsky was the center of Kharovskaya Volost of Kadnikovsky Uyezd, Vologda Governorate.
On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished, the governorates merged into the Northern Krai, and the cettlement became the center of Kharovsky District.[8] Construction of a number of industrial enterprises followed, including a milk factory. The settlement of Kharovsky was renamed into Kharovsk and obtained the town status in 1954.[6]
