Beloye More was established in 1969. It was officially registered in 1971 and replaced the village of Kandalaksha (distinct from the town) as the center of a selsoviet. At the same time, the older railway settlement of Beloye more [sic], established sometime before 1938, was merged into the new settlement.[6] At the time of its establishment, the selsoviet also included the settlements of Fedoseyevka, Kirki, Kolvitsa, Luvenga, Neblagorsky, Palkina Guba, Pinozero, Plesozero, Prolivy, Ruchyi and Zhemchuzhnaya.[7]
