History

In the 19th century, the place where Yefimovsky is currently located, was a part of Sominskaya Volost of Ustyuzhensky Uyezd, Novgorod Governorate. In 1918, it was transferred in newly created Cherepovets Governorate. In the second half of the 19th century (the dates of 1862 and 1882 are mentioned in the sources) a glass-making factory was built by Lanko, a German merchant. The settlement serving the glass-making factory was known as Bystroretsky and is currently a part of Yefimovsky (Bystroretskaya Street). In 1905, a railway station was opened on the railway connecting Podborovye and Tikhvin. The name of the station was Somino, however, in 1908 it was renamed Yefimovskaya. The settlement of Yefimovsky was initially serving the railway station.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, Yefimovsky District with the center in the settlement of Yefimovsky was established as part of Cherepovets Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930 the okrugs were abolished as well, and the district became directly subordinate to the oblast. On February 1, 1963 the district was abolished, and, after a short period, was merged into Boksitogorsky District.

In 1957, the first brick house was built in Yefimovsky. In December 1964, Yefimovsky was granted work settlement status.
