Vologda is one of the few cities of the North, whose history is rooted in the pre-Mongol period of Kyivan Rus. It is believed that the first settlement at this place was founded in the middle of the XII century. It is associated with the establishment of a monastery in the name of the Holy Trinity. This version is confirmed by archaeological excavations, during which the artifacts were found. Early of them really belong to the XII century. The first reliable written mention of the Vologda belongs to the mid-XIII century (in a document of 1264). In this period the settlement is experiencing a very the population of VologdaThe intensive development, and the population of Vologda is growing rapidly. She begins to attract the attention of neighbors and local residents periodically find themselves under the influence of Novgorod, then Moscow.

Within the borders of Muscovy

In the XV century, Vologda is completely within the boundaries of Moscow's territorial possessions. So fierce fight for the city was due to its very favorable geographical position. The fact that he was an ideal staging point on the trade routes from North to South. Merchants brought here the salt, furs, wax, fish, hemp. The population of the city of Vologda were engaged in crafts, the making of Lena and skin in the first place. And always able to offer merchants the actual product. The period of greatest prosperity of the old Vologda became the XVI century, during which the city became the largest Northern mining and distribution of salt point.

That salt was the main export and income of the local population. Then, the number of residents, the city became one of the largest across the country. Interestingly, in this period, Vologodsky and does almost become residents of the capital. From 1567 Ivan the terrible for several years, regularly visits the city. There are opinions that Moscow of that period was presented to the king by the concentration of the threat opposition forces, because with the boyars, he had a very complicated relationship, and Vologda could see him as the new capital of the Kingdom. However, the success of the oprichnina, obviously, deprived of the meaning transfer of the capital to the North.

Vologodsky in the Romanov Empire

In 1612, the city was burned in the RAID of the poles. However, he relatively soon regained its former size, and by mid-century regained its former importance. So, to 1681, the population of Vologda consisted of more than four thousand inhabitants. The vast majority (about 80%) of the local population in this period was the townspeople. A little less a significant layer was the clergy and the soldiers were respectively 14% and 5%. And, of course, the local aristocracy (1%). Prosperity continued until the beginning of the XVIII century. However, in this period the town gradually begins to lose its commercial and strategic importance. It was connected with the Foundation by Peter the great's new capital on the Neva. The population of Vologda is inevitably shallow. If in 1713 there were more than ten thousand inhabitants, in 1782 there were seven thousand. The same trend continued throughout the next century. Recovery failed to inspire even holding the railroad with a message Arkhangelsk – Moscow.
