[edit] Geography
The Chinese-Russian border is located only about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) from the town center.
Lesozavodsk has a station on the Trans-Siberian Railway at Ruzhino, the M60 motorway between Khabarovsk and Vladivostok passes about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) east of the town.
[edit] History
The first settlement on the site was founded in 1924 in connection with a sawmill. The settlement was originally named Dalles (Дальлес), from the Russian word dalny for distant (referring to the Russian Far East) and les for forest. In 1932, Dalles was merged with the nearby village of Novostroyka, given urban-type settlement status and renamed Lesozavodsk, translating roughly as forest works town.
Lesozavodsk was granted town status in 1938.
The 130th Machine Gun Artillery Division of the 5th Army, Far Eastern Military District, has been based here for many years.
