Budogoshch was founded in 1914 as a settlement serving the railway station. The name was taken over from a nearby village which existed presumably from the 17th century. At the time, Budogoshch was part of Tikhvinsky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. June26, 1918, the uyezd was transferred to newly established Cherepovets Governorate. On August1, 1927 the governorate was abolished, and the area was transferred to Leningrad Oblast. Simultaneously, Budogoshchensky District with the center in Budogoshch was established as part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July23, 1930 the okrugs were abolished as well, and the districts became directly subordinate to the oblast. In 1932, Budogoshchensky District was abolished and split between Dregelsky and Kirishsky Districts of Leningrad Oblast.
Between October23 and December21, 1941, Budogoshch was occupied by German troops. After the liberation, the railroad connecting Budogoshch with Tikhvin, which was restored in 1943, played a key role in providing Leningrad with food and other supplies. Kirishi, which was occupied for two years, was greatly damaged, and in February1944 the administrative center of Kirishsky District was moved to Budogoshch. On February1, 1963 the district was abolished and merged into Volkhovsky District, and on January12, 1965 it was re-established, with Kirishi as the district center.
