The town was previously known as Alexandrovskoye (until 1926),[10] Alexandrovsk (until 1931),[10] Krasnopartizansk (until 1935),[10] Kuybyshevka Vostochnaya (until 1957).

History

edit

The seloofAlexandrovskoye (Алекса́ндровское) was founded in 1860[2] by the settlers[10] from the European part of Russia. In 1893, the seloofBochkaryovka (Бочкарёвка) appeared nearby.[10] The two localities grew with the construction of a station on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1913, and by 1923 Alexandrovskoye and Bochkarevka merged and were transformed into Alexandrovsk (Алекса́ндровск). Town status was granted to Alexandrovsk in 1926.[10] In 1931, it was renamed Krasnopartizansk (Краснопартиза́нск), then, in 1935, Kuybyshevka-Vostochnaya (Ку́йбышевка-Восто́чная), to commemorate the Soviet statesman Valerian Kuybyshev.[10] In 1957, possibly to reduce the number of localities named after Kuybyshev, the town was given its present name.[10] While the literal meaning of the name is white mountains, the reasons for renaming are unclear, as the town stands on a plain with no "white mountains" anywhere in the vicinity.[10] It is possible, however, that the name was due to the whitish color of the quartz sands of the bluffs on the Tom River, or that it was allegorical, with the meaning of a white town.[10]
