Cherepovets Governorate
Khokhlovo was known as a village since 1626. In the 19th century, it was part of Cherepovetsky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. In June 1918, five uyezds of Novgorod Governorate, including Cherepovetsky Uyezd, were split off to form Cherepovets Governorate, with the administrative center in Cherepovets. On August 1, 1927 Cherepovets Governorate was abolished, and its area became Cherepovets Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, uyezds were abolished, and Kaduysky District was established. On September 23, 1937, Kaduysky District was transferred to newly established Vologda Oblast. In 1979, Khokhlovo became an urban-type settlement.
