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.
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.[8][9]
Economy
Industry
Timber and food industry are present.
Transportation
Karpogory is connected to
Arkhangelsk by a railway line with the regular passenger service. This line is expected to become part of the
Belkomur project[10] — a railroad connecting Arkhangelsk via the
Komi Republic with the
Perm Krai and the
Ural mountains.
The Pinega River is navigable in Karpogory, although there is no regular passenger navigation.
An unpaved road along the Pinega connects Karpogory with Arkhangelsk on the north and the village of
Zanyukhcha on the south. Further south it crosses the border with the
Komi Republic to the timber production settlements.
There is an
airport in Karpogory, not used for regular passenger service.[11]
Culture and recreation
The Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Karpogory was built in 2005. This is a wooden church constructed in the style of the 17th century.
