History

[edit]

It was founded in 1907 as a settlement of Torgun (Торгунь) servicing the construction of a railway station of the same name.[citation needed] That same year, Torgun was renamed Pallasovka in honor of an academician Peter Pallas (1741–1811), who visited the area in 1773–1774.[citation needed] It was granted town status in 1967.[citation needed]

Administrative and municipal status

[edit]

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Pallasovka serves as the administrative center of Pallasovsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with three rural localities, incorporated within Pallasovsky District as the town of district significance of Pallasovka.[2]

As a municipal division, the territory of Pallasovka is incorporated within Pallasovsky Municipal District as Pallasovka Urban Settlement.[4] The three rural localities are incorporated as Limannoye Rural Settlement of Pallasovsky Municipal District.[4]

The meteorite

[edit]

Peter Pallas was a famous naturalist who took part in the discovery and the study of the first pallasite, a type of stony-iron meteorite named after him. Coincidentally, Pallasovka is a pallasite meteorite found near the town and named after it.
