It belonged to Tsurikovskaya Volost of Smolensky Uyezd of Smolensk Governorate, later to Nadvinskaya Volost of Dukhovshhinsky Uyezd. The settlement developed around Kamenka railway station and incorporated the village of Kamenka.[5] In 1924, it became the center of Kardymovskaya Volost of Smolensky Uyezd, also of Smolensk Governorate.[6] On 12 July 1929, governorates and uyezds were abolished, and Kardymovsky District with the administrative center in the selo of Kardymovo was established.[7][8] The district belonged to Smolensk Okrug of Western Oblast.
