Urdoma (Russian: Урдома) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Lensky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, located on the Verkhnyaya Lupya River, a tributary of the Vychegda. Municipally, it is the administrative center of Urdomskoye Urban Settlement, the only urban settlement in the district. Population: 4,577 (2010 Census);4,637 (2002 Census);4,998 (1989 Census)..
Urdoma was first mentioned in the 17th century sources as a part of Yarensky Uyezd. In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Archangelgorod Governorate. In 1780, the governorate was abolished and transformed into Vologda Viceroyalty. In 1918, Yarensky Uyezd was transferred to the newly formed Northern Dvina Governorate, and in 1924 the uyezds were abolished in favor of the new divisions, the districts (raions). Urdoma became a part of Solvychegodsky District formed on June 1, 1924, and in 1929 Urdomsky Selsoviet was merged into Lensky District of Northern Krai. In the 1940s, a railway station on the railroad connecting Kotlas to Vorkuta was built in Urdoma, and the settlement expanded, merging, in particular, with the neighboring settlement of Nyanda. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 2006.
