History

The village of Ugol () was first mentioned in a chronicle in 1495. The development of the area started in 1851 when Uglovka became a railway station on the Nikolayevskaya Railway which connected Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Uglovka developed first as a settlement serving the railway stations, and eventually the limestone extraction started. In the beginning of the 20th century, it was a part of Borovyonskaya Volost of Valdaysky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. In 1921, it was transferred to Shegrinskaya Volost of Borovichsky Uyezd.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, and Uglovsky District with the center in the railway station of Uglovka was established as part of Borovichi Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished, and the districts became directly subordinate to the oblast. On January 1, 1932, Uglovsky District was abolished and split between Borovichsky, Okulovsky, and Bologovsky Districts. Uglovka became a part of Okulovsky District. On July 5, 1944, Okulovsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast and remained there ever since.

Urban-type settlement status was granted to Uglovka on November 9, 1938.
