Pallasovka (Russian: Палла́совка) is a town and the administrative center of Pallasovsky District in Volgograd Oblast, Russia, located on the Torgun River (which flows into the Volgograd Reservoir), 301 kilometers (187 mi) northeast of Volgograd, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 16,081 (2010 Census);[3] 17,163 (2002 Census);[7] 17,712 (1989 Soviet census).[8]

History

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

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

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.
