History

It was first mentioned as a village in 1545.[3] In 1882, a metallurgical plant, which produced telegraph wires, nails, and hooks, was built here.[3] The railway station opened in 1901, boosting development.[3] Before 1918, Babayevo was a part of Ustyuzhensky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. In June 1918, five uyezds of Novgorod Governorate, including Ustyuzhensky Uyezd, were split off to form Cherepovets Governorate, with the administrative center in Cherepovets. In 1925, Babayevo was granted town status.[3] On August 1, 1927, Cherepovets Governorate was abolished and its territory became Cherepovets Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[11] At the same time, uyezds were abolished and Babayevsky District was established.[11] Babayevo became the administrative center of the district. On September 23, 1937, Babayevsky District was transferred to newly established Vologda Oblast.[11]
