Kadnikov (Russian: Ка́дников) is a town in Sokolsky District of Vologda Oblast, Russia, located on the bank of the Sodima River, 43 kilometers (27 mi) southeast of Vologda, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 4,796 (2010 Census);5,362 (2002 Census);5,312 (1989 Census).
It traces its history to 1492, when a patrol station was set up to protect the trade route heading from Moscow northward. In 1780, it became the seat of Kadnikovsky Uyezd of Vologda Viceroyalty (since 1796—Vologda Governorate) and was granted town status. The uyezd, one of the ten in the governorate, comprised vast areas in the central part of modern Vologda Oblast east and northeast of Lake Kubenskoye, as well as the south of modern Arkhangelsk Oblast. However, when a railway was constructed in 1894 from Vologda north to Arkhangelsk, the route bypassed Kadnikov. In the 20th century, the population of Kadnikov declined while that of neighboring Sokol, which is located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) to the northwest, has grown, and Kadnikov lost its significance as the administrative center. When the uyezds were abolished on July 15, 1929, Kadnikov was included into Sverdlovsky District (later renamed Sokolsky District) of Northern Krai.
