Karpogory (Russian: Карпого́ры) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Pinezhsky District, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Pinega River. It also serves as the administrative center of Karpogorsky Selsoviet, one of the seventeen selsoviets into which the district is administratively divided. Municipally, it is the administrative center of Karpogorskoye Rural Settlement. Population: 4,443 (2010 Census);4,617 (2002 Census);5,335 (1989 Census).
Karpogory is located on the right bank of the Pinega River, at the confluence of the Soga River. Several kilometers downstream from Karpogory, the Pinega accepts the Pokshenga, one of its major tributaries, from the left.
The area was originally populated by the Finno-Ugric peoples and then colonized by the Novgorod Republic. In the 19th century, Karpogory was an administrative center of Karpogorskaya Volost and was part of the Pinezhsky Uyezd of the Arkhangelsk Governorate. In February 1927, Pinezhsky Uyezd was abolished and merged into Arkhangelsky Uyezd.
In 1929, several governorates were merged into Northern Krai. July 15, 1929 the uyezds were abolished, and Karpogorsky District, with the center in Karpogory, was established. In 1936, the Krai was transformed into Northern Oblast. In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast. In 1959, Karpogorsky and Pinezhsky Districts merged into the greater Pinezhsky District with the center of Karpogory.
