History

Kardymovo is mentioned for the first time in a list of populated areas for 1859. It belonged to Tsurikovskaya Volost of Smolensky Uyezd of Smolensk Governorate, later to Nadvinskaya Volost of Dukhovshhinsky Uyezd. The settlement developed around Kamenka railway station and incorporated the village of Kamenka.[5] In 1924, it became the center of Kardymovskaya Volost of Smolensky Uyezd, also of Smolensk Governorate.[6] On 12 July 1929, governorates and uyezds were abolished, and Kardymovsky District with the administrative center in the selo of Kardymovo was established.[7][8] The district belonged to Smolensk Okrug of Western Oblast. On August 1, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were subordinated directly to the oblast. On 20 November 1930 Kardymovsky District was abolished and merged into Smolensky District. On 18 January 1935 Kardymovsky District was re-established. On 27 September 1937 Western Oblast was abolished and split between Oryol and Smolensk Oblasts. Kardymovsky District was transferred to Smolensk Oblast. Between 1941 and September 1943, during WWII, the district was occupied by German troops.[7] On 1 February 1963, Kardymovsky District was merged into Smolensky and Yartsevsky Districts, but on 23 March 1977 it was re-established.[9][7] Between 1963 and 1977, Kardymovo was the center of Kardymovsky Selsoviet of Yartsevsky District.[8] In 1979, Kardymovo was made an urban-type settlement.[5]
