Pogranichny (Russian: Пограни́чный) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Pogranichny District of Primorsky Krai, Russia, located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) east of the China–Russia border and 140 kilometers (87 mi) northwest of Vladivostok. Population: 10,280 (2010 Census);[1] 12,221 (2002 Census);[4] 11,333 (1989 Census).[5]
History
Pogranichny was founded by the Orenburg Cossacks from the fist Host district, in 1898, as Grodekovo (Гроде́ково) railway station, named after Nikolay Ivanovich Grodekov, Governor General (1898–1906) of Priamurye. The settlement was given its present name – which means "border (town)" – in 1958.[6]
Cross-border rail traffic
The railway station in Pogranichny (still called Grodekovo for railway purposes) is the first one east of the Sino-Russian border on the Harbin–Ussuriysk (for Vladivostok) branch of the former Chinese Eastern Railway, the "Trans Manchurian Line". There are currently (December 2013) no through passenger trains between Harbin and Ussuriysk; however, two local trains daily in each direction connect Suifenhe (the last Chinese station on the western side of the border) to Pogranichny. The 27-km journey takes around 1 hour and 25 minutes.[7]
Climate
Pogranichny has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dwb), with very cold and dry winters and very warm and wet summers.
