The portage between the Tsna and the Tvertsa existed from the medieval times as confirmed by archaeological atrifacts found in the area. Vyshny Volochyok as a settlement was mentioned in chronicles in 1471. In 1703-1722, Peter the Great had a canal constructed to link the two rivers (Vyshny Volochyok Waterway). In the 1740, the road connecting Moscow and Saint Petersburg was built. These two events gave a start to the fast economic development of Vyshny Volochyok, which later also became a major center of textile manufacture and glass production. In 1772, the first fair was held, and in the first half of the 19th century the road was rebuilt in stone. In 1851, the railroad construction followed.
The waterway from Lake Ilmen upstream the Msta and the Tsna Rivers, followed by a portage to the Tvertsa and downstream to the Volga River existed from the medieval times, as is evident from a large amount of archeological sites in the area. The name of Vyshny Volochyok is derived from Russian:волок, which means portage. On January 12, 1703 Russian Tsar Peter the Great signed a decree which ordered a canal to be built instead of the portage. Prince Matvey Gagarin was appointed the supervisor of the construction, and Adriaan Houter, a Dutch water engineer from Amsterdam, was hired to perform the construction. The waterway was opened in 1706 and became the first waterway connecting the basins of the Neva and the Volga. The canal, known as the Gagarin Canal, and later as the Tvertsa Canal, was 2,811 metres (9,222ft) long and 15 metres (49ft) deep. However, the construction project contained a number of mistakes, and as a result the canal decayed and some point the navigation became impossible.

Само название города Вышний Волочёк говорит о том, что когда-то здесь волоком из одного водоёма в другой перемещали суда. Новгородцы торговали с другими княжествами. Водный транспорт был основным. Затем процесс этот решили модернизировать. Пётр I построил новую столицу Санкт-Петербург. Здесь построили плотины, каналы, появилась Вышневолоцкая водная система. Бассейн Балтийского моря был соединён с бассейном Каспийского моря, на водоразделе которых и находится Вышний Волочёк.
Железная дорога Санкт-Петербург – Москва тоже прошла через Вышний Волочёк.
Автомагистраль М10 тоже здесь. Автомобилисты не любят этот город из-за светофоров и пробок.
