Ust-Kulom

Ust-Kulom stands where the Kulomka enters the Vychegda. The settlement is known from 1638, when peasants left the Vishera district to establish new households here and at Ust-Nem. Their former neighbors complained that the migrants had abandoned their old land and no longer shared their taxes. The 1646 census described Ust-Kulom as a small pogost and the center of six settlements, naming families who had come from the Vishera and Sysola country.
