Velsk ({{lang-ru|Вельск}}) is a town and the administrative center of Velsky District in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Vel River at its confluence with the Vaga River, {{convert|545|km|sp=us}} south of Arkhangelsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: {{ru-census|p2010=23,885|p2002=26,241|p1989=25,967}}

History

First attested in 1137,[2] Velsk regularly suffered from inundations before it was moved to a higher spot in the 16th century. It was known as a pogost before 1555, as a posad between 1555 and 1780, whereupon it was incorporated as a town of Vologda Viceroyalty.[3] Velsk developed as a merchant town, having profited from its location on the Vaga and late on the road connecting Moscow and Arkhangelsk (which in the 17th century was the only major trade harbor in European Russia). Trade fairs were held in Velsk; the most important one was the St. Athanasius Trade Fair.

In 1796, Velsky Uyezd was transferred to Vologda Governorate and remained there until 1929, when several governorates were merged into Northern Krai. On July 15, 1929, the uyezds were abolished and Velsk became the administrative center of Velsky District, a part of Nyandoma Okrug of Northern Krai. In 1936, the krai was transformed into Northern Oblast and in 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Velsk serves as the administrative center of Velsky District.[4] As an administrative division, it is, together with the railway station of Vaga, incorporated within Velsky District as the town of district significance of Velsk.[4] As a municipal division, the town of district significance of Velsk, together with two rural localities in Ust-Velsky Selsoviet of Velsky District, are incorporated within Velsky Municipal District as Velskoye Urban Settlement.[5]

Economy

Industry

Town's economy is dominated by timber industry. Vaga was used for timber rafting until the 1990s. Food production is also present.[6]

Transportation

Velsk is located on the M8 Highway—one of the principal highways in Russia connecting Moscow and Arkhangelsk. The secondary roads lead east to Oktyabrsky and west to Konosha, branching off in Velsk.

Velsk has a railway station (since 1942) on the railroad connecting Konosha and Kotlas, which eventually continues to Vorkuta.

The Velsk Airport provided passenger service[7] until the 1990s, but has not been used since. In 2011, after a long break, a helicopter was tanked in Velsk. There are plans to use it as a base for the forest patrol aviation.

Culture and recreation

The historical center of Velsk, though having lost many of its historical buildings, conforms to the 1780 town plan and is regarded as a historically preserved area. In all, Velsk contains nineteen objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local importance,{{RKN_base}} most of them being former merchant houses. The following objects are on the list:

  • the whole architectural ensemble of Velsk
  • Salnikov House (end of the 19th-beginning of the 20th century)
  • Istomakhin House (1888)
  • Shelovanova House (end of the 19th-beginning of the 20th century)
  • Gorbunova House (1880)
  • Orlov House (1885)
  • Kotutin House (1902)
  • Living House (end of the 19th-beginning of the 20th century)
  • Trading House (end of the 19th-beginning of the 20th century)
  • Transfiguration Cathedral (1898–1913)
  • a house at 46 Dzerzhinsky Street
  • a house at 49 Dzerzhinsky Street

  • a house at 4 Komsomolskaya Street
  • the ensemble of the Lenin Square, including the Popov house and a trading house

Velsk hosts the Velsky District Museum.[8]
