VOLOGDA

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 197 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOLOGDA , a town of Russia,
capital
  of the government of the same name, situated in its
south
 -western corner on the river Vologda, above its confluence with the navigable Sukhona, 127 M. by rail N. of Yaroslavl. Pop. (1881) 17,025; (1897) 27,822. It is an old town, having many ancient churches, including one which
dates
  from the 12th century, and the
cathedral
 , founded in 1568. Vologda is a considerable commercial centreflax, linseed, oats, hemp, butter and eggsbeing exported to both St
Petersburg
  and Archangel. It has distilleries, tanneries, and oil, soap, tobacco, candle and fur-dressing works.
Vologda existed as a trading town as early as the z 2th century. It was a colony of
Novgorod
 , and was founded in 1147, and carried on a brisk trade in flax, tallow, furs, corn, leather and manufactured goods. In 1273 it was plundered by the prince of Tver in alliance with the
Tatars
 , but soon recovered. Moscow disputed its possession with
Novgorod
  until the 15th century; the Moscow princes intrigued to find support amidst the poorer inhabitants against the richer Novgorod merchants, and four successive times Vologda had to fight against its metropolis. It was definitely annexed to Moscow in 1447. When Archangel was founded, and opened for foreign trade in 1553, Vologda became the
chief
  depot for goods exported through that channel. Polish bands plundered it in 1613, and the plague of 1648 devastated it; but it maintained its commercial importance until the foundation of St
Petersburg
 , when Russian foreign trade took another channel.
