History

Vichuga was first mentioned as a volost in the will of Ivan III in 1504. Marshal of the Soviet Union Aleksandr Mikhaylovich Vasilevsky was born in Novaya Golchikha, now part of Vichuga, on 30 September 1895.

In 1932 a protest/uprising occurred among the workers of Vichuga. It was sparked by poor condition and a pay decrease. In the end the party conceded to the workers demands[10]
