At that time, the fortress of Kichmengsky Gorodok was dependent on Veliky Ustyug, and Tatars took it and set it to fire, together with all its population.

[2] In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great the area was included into Archangelgorod Governorate.

The latter was abolished in 1796, and Kichmengsky Gorodok became the center of Kichmengskaya Volost of Nikolsky Uyezd of Vologda Governorate.

In 1918, the area was transferred to the newly established Northern Dvina Governorate with the administrative center located in Veliky Ustyug.

[2] Kichmengsky Gorodok is located on the paved road which connects Kotlas and Veliky Ustyug in the north and Nikolsk and Manturovo to the south.
