Плесецкий район
Savinskaya Volost already existed in the 19th century and was a part of Onezhsky Uyezd of Arkhangelsk Governorate. In 1929, Plesetsky District was established, which included Savinsky Selsoviet. In the years that followed, the territory of the selsoviet was modified several times; in particular, the urban-type settlement of Yemtsa was split in 1941. Savinsky was granted its current status on December 15, 1961.
