History

Privodino was first mentioned as a selo in 1726. In the 19th century, it was the seat of Privodinskaya Volost, a part of Velikoustyugsky Uyezd of Vologda Governorate. In 1918, the area was transferred to the newly formed Northern Dvina Governorate, and in 1924 the uyezds were abolished in favor of the new divisions, the districts. Privodino was included into Kotlassky District which was formed on June 25, 1924. In 1929, Northern Dvina Governorate was merged into Northern Krai, which in 1936 was transformed into Northern Oblast. In 1937, Northern Oblast was split into Arkhangelsk Oblast and Vologda Oblast.
On April 26, 1941, Privodino was granted work settlement status. In 2004, it was municipally incorporated as Privodinskoye Urban Settlement.
