History

The town of Yarensk was documented as early as 1384 as a station on the road leading from Novgorod to the Ural Mountains. In the Russian Empire, it was the seat of a huge uyezd within Vologda Governorate. Much of the present-day Komi Republic was administered from Yarensk. The Tsar used the town as a place of exile, most notably for Prince Vasily Galitzine.

In 1924, the town was demoted in status to that of a rural locality.

Culture

The modern village has a mid-18th century Orthodox cathedral adapted for use as a local history museum.

Yarensk in fiction

Yarensk was one of the Russian towns visited by Robinson Crusoe in Defoe's novel.
