History
The area was populated by speakers of Uralic languages and then colonized by the Novgorod Republic. Eventually, the area became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Ilyinsk (Ilyinsky Pogost, currently a part of Ilyinsko-Podomskoye) was founded in 1379. The foundation of the pogost is often credited to the activities of Stephen of Perm, who is credited by the conversion of Komi peoples to Christianity. In the end of 14th century, the lands along Viled River (including Ilyinsky Pogost) were given to Stephen, at the time the hegumen in the Ust-Vym Monastery, by Dmitry Donskoy, the Prince of Moscow.
The Stroganov family, which was based in Solvychegodsk and made their fortune by the salt production, had a number of estates on the Viled, which were user to grow horses for the salt production. The biggest Stroganov estate on the Viled was in Ilyinsk.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Ilyinsk became a fortress due to its location on the main road from Moscow to Siberia, which went from Moscow to Veliky Ustyug and then to Cherdyn. The records show that in the 17th century Ilyinsk had two wooden churches. One of the first public schools in the North of Russia was opened here in 1848.
Ilyinsko-Podomskoye was created by merging Ilyinsk with the adjacent village of Podoma. Ilyinsko-Podomskaya Volost already existed in the 18th century.
