[edit] History
The first migrants from the western parts of Russia appeared in the area of today's Spassk-Dalny in 1886. They founded the village of Spasskoye, which in 1917 became the town of Spassk-Dalny. During the Civil War Spassk-Dalny was the arena of hard battles between the White and Red Armies.
[edit] Business and industry
Historically Spassk-Dalny was formed as a center of the construction industry of Primorye, due to the reserves of limestone, clay, and construction sand in its vicinities. Currently the largest enterprise is JSC Spassktsement, which had been operating since 1907 and can produce up to 3.5 million tonnes of cement per year. The Cement Plant is represented in the coat of arms of Spassk-Dalny, beside the lotus flower.
The Knorringskoye or Khankayskoye deposit of marble is located in Spassky District. There are only three similar deposits in the world. Various souvenirs are produced from Khankaysky marble, striking with its fantastic colors and patterns.
Spassky District is one of the leading agricultural regions of Primorye. Due to the special microclimate of the Prikhankayskaya Flatland, vegetables, fruits, and berries ripen here earlier than in the other regions of Primorye.
[edit] Tourism
There are over twenty monuments of history and culture in Spassk-Dalny, more than a half of them devoted to the participants of the Civil War in the Russian Far East who supported the Bolsheviks. There are also monuments connected with the events of the World War II.
