Historical outline

On a deserted place on the coast of the White Sea at the beginning of the 15th century. a monastery arose in the name of the Archangel Michael, but in 1419 all the monks of the monastery were killed and the monastery itself was burned by the Norwegians. Subsequently, the monastery was rebuilt for a long time and with difficulty. Around 1440, the Solovetsky monks began to build their ships in the vicinity of Arkhangelsk for navigation on the White Sea and the Northern Dvina. In 1548 they had their shipyards here. Apparently, already at that time there was a settlement around the monastery.

After the loss of Narva as a result of the defeat in the Livonian War of 1558-1583. It was decided to make the mouth of the Northern Dvina the center of maritime trade relations with other states.

It was founded in 1583 by decree of Ivan the Terrible (letter dated March 4, 1583) on the right bank of the Northern Dvina, on Cape Pur-Navolok as a wooden fortress near the Archangel Michael Monastery (founded by Novgorodians at the end of the 14th century). The official founding date is considered to be 1584, when the city was established "in one year" (according to the "report" of the governor).

In the first decades of the city's existence, it was called the New City, New Kholmogory, New Kholmogory City. The names were connected with the fact that the role of the main port on the Northern Dvina passed from the village of Kholmogory to this city. However, the inhabitants called it the Arkhangelsk city after the monastery. Since 1613 the city of Arkhangelsk was officially called. Over time, the name is fixed in the form Arkhangelsk.

The first major seaport of the Russian state, and by decree of 1585, was the only city where foreigners were allowed to purchase goods from the interior of Russia. In the 17th century its heyday was due to the development of the White Sea trade with England and other Western European countries. Since the 1620s there was a foreign colony.

Arkhangelsk was badly damaged by a fire in 1667 and was rebuilt, mainly with wooden buildings: the house of the voivode and commandant, clerk's chambers, residential estates, the complex of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk monastery. One of the first stone buildings was the Gostiny Dvor, both a fortress and a commercial building (1668-84, architect D. Startsev).

The decree of 1722 on the transfer of all foreign trade from the Northern Dvina to the Neva temporarily reduced the economic activity of Arkhangelsk. But the city continued to remain the main trading center of the Russian North.

In 1784, the Novodvinskaya fortress was listed as a non-district city of the Arkhangelsk governorship.

In 1762, he was equalized in trade rights with St. Petersburg. In the middle of the 18th - early 19th centuries. the importance of the city increased again, especially in the period 1807-1813, when, due to the Napoleonic wars and the economic, continental blockade of Great Britain, Arkhangelsk became the only port in Russia where foreign goods arrived.
