Bely Gorodok was first mentioned in the end of the 14th century (1366 and 1375 are commonly cited). At the time, it belonged to
Principality of Tver, and later, together with the principality, was annexed by the
Grand Duchy of Moscow. In the 18th century, it was included into the
Moscow Governorate. In 1775 it was then transferred to the newly established
Tver Viceroyalty and became a part of
Kalyazinsky Uyezd. On December 30, 1918,
Kimrsky Uyezd, with its center in Kimry, was established, and Bely Gorodok was included into Kimrsky Uyezd. On 12 August 1929, the Tver Governorate was abolished, and the area was transferred to
Moscow Oblast. 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. In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast. ==Economy==
