History


Petrovsk is an old merchant city, founded by the personal decree of Peter the Great in 1698 to protect the region from the raids of the Crimean Tatars, and also "so that from now on, free people do not come to the roundabout cities and do not repair any ruin ...". According to legend, the founder personally visited the city in 1707. The construction of the Petrovsk fortress was of great importance for its time, since a land road from Tsaritsyn to Moscow lay from Saratov through Atkarsk and Penza, and the sparsely populated banks of the Medveditsa abounded with robber bands that robbed those who passed along the road. A fortified guard line with settlements began from Petrovsk. The fortress itself had a 4-sided shape, it was surrounded by double oak walls with 8 towers covered with timber. Inside the fortress there were the Cathedral of Peter and Paul, mansions for the voivode, stables, an archive, and barns. Since 1780 it has been a district town in the Saratov province. The coat of arms of the city is vowel. On July 23, 1928, the city became the center of the Petrovsky district of the Saratov district of the Nizhne-Volzhsky region (since 1936 as part of the Saratov region).


Geography


It is located on the Volga Upland, on the banks of the Medveditsa River, 104 km northwest of Saratov, on the Atkarsk-Sennaya railway line of the Volga Railway, next to the Saratov — Penza highway, 12 km from the border with the Penza region. The railway station is called Petrovsk-Saratovsky to avoid confusion with the localities of the same name in the Chita and Yaroslavl regions. On the southern outskirts of the city, there was previously a military airfield Petrovsk (in the late 1990s, abandoned, partially dismantled: what remained, fell into complete disrepair).


Administrative and municipal status


Within the framework of administrative divisions, Petrovsk serves as the administrative center of Petrovsky District,[4] even though it is not a part of it.[11] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as Petrovsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction[11]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[citation needed] As a municipal division, Petrovsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated within Petrovsky Municipal District as Petrovsk Urban Settlement.[5]
