city was founded in 1583 by order of Ivan the Terrible on the right bank of the Northern Dvina River. In the first years of its existence it was called "Novy town" "Novye Kholmogory". The city's name is attributed to the fact that Arkhangelsk took the functions of a port settlement Kholmogory. However, later this city stuck to the current name - Arkhangelsk - from the monastery.
