History
In 1882, a sawmill was built in the mouth of the Kamenka River by the Rushnikov brothers. There was timber rafting on the Mezen, which persisted until the 1990s. Kamenka was one of the places where the logs were lifted from the water. The sawmill produced boards, all of which were exported. At the time, it was part of Mezensky Uyezd of Arkhangelsk Governorate. On July 15, 1929 the uyezds were abolished, and Mezensky District was established. Kamenka was granted urban-type settlement status in 1938. On 23 June 2021, Kamenka was transformed back to rural settlement. Economy-related legal and tax reasons were cited for this decision.
