History
It was first mentioned in a birch bark manuscript from the late 14th century as Pudoga. The settlement was later called Pudozhsky Pogost. It was granted town status in 1785, also becoming the center of the Pudozhsky uezd. Pudozh was demoted to a selo in 1926, but its town status was restored in 1943.
A commemorative monument was erected in 1989 for those executed in the 1930s and 1940s -- local residents, Belbaltlag prisoners and people of Finnish nationality.
