Archival data about the village of Igumnovo is practically absent. It is known only that it appeared before the 17th century. According to legend, the name of the village is connected to a monastery and its abbess, and the surrounding lands allegedly belonged to the monastery.

In 1808, a church was built in Igumnovo in honor of the Prophet Elijah. According to clerical records from 1881, it was a stone church with two altars and a bell tower of the same design. The main altar was consecrated in honor of the prophet Elijah, while the second chapel was dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. From the preserved data, it is known that the church's furnishings were meager. The village had 955 men and 1021 women, and a zemstvo school operated near the church.

In 1937, the church was closed and converted into a mill.
