Geography

Karpogory is located on the right bank of the Pinega River, at the confluence of the Soga River. Several kilometers downstream from Karpogory, the Pinega accepts the Pokshenga, one of its major tributaries, from the left.

History

The area was originally populated by the Finno-Ugric peoples and then colonized by the Novgorod Republic. In the 19th century, Karpogory was an administrative center of Karpogorskaya Volost and was part of the Pinezhsky Uyezd of the Arkhangelsk Governorate. In February 1927, Pinezhsky Uyezd was abolished and merged into Arkhangelsky Uyezd.

In 1929, several governorates were merged into Northern Krai. July 15, 1929 the uyezds were abolished, and Karpogorsky District, with the center in Karpogory, was established. In 1936, the Krai was transformed into Northern Oblast. In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast. In 1959, Karpogorsky and Pinezhsky Districts merged into the greater Pinezhsky District with the center of Karpogory.[8][9]

Economy

Industry

Timber and food industry are present.

Transportation

Karpogory is connected to Arkhangelsk by a railway line with the regular passenger service. This line is expected to become part of the Belkomur project[10] — a railroad connecting Arkhangelsk via the Komi Republic with the Perm Krai and the Ural mountains.

The Pinega River is navigable in Karpogory, although there is no regular passenger navigation.

An unpaved road along the Pinega connects Karpogory with Arkhangelsk on the north and the village of Zanyukhcha on the south. Further south it crosses the border with the Komi Republic to the timber production settlements.

There is an airport in Karpogory, not used for regular passenger service.[11]

Culture and recreation

The Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Karpogory was built in 2005. This is a wooden church constructed in the style of the 17th century.
