History

Bely Gorodok was first mentioned in the end of the 14th century (1366[8] and 1375[9] are commonly cited) At the time, it belonged to Principality of Tver, and later, together with the principality, it was annexed by the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In the 18th century, it was included into Moscow Governorate. In 1775 it was transferred to newly established Tver Viceroyalty and became a part of Kalyazinsky Uyezd.[8] In 1796, the Viceroyalty was abolished and transformed into Tver Governorate.[10] On December 30, 1918 Kimrsky Uyezd with the center in Kimry was established, and Bely Gorodok was included into Kimrsky Uyezd.

On 12 August 1929, Tver Governorate was abolished, and the area was transferred to Moscow Oblast.[11] Uyezds were abolished as well, and Kimrsky District, with the administrative center in Kimry, was established within Kimry Okrug of Moscow Oblast. Bely Gorodok was a part of Kimrsky District. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On January 29, 1935 Kalinin Oblast was established, and Kimrsky District was transferred to Kalinin Oblast. In 1951, the selo of Bely Gorodok was granted urban-settlement status.[9] In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.
