Not so long ago, the district center of Pallasovka was more often called a station, since the history of the city is directly connected with the construction of the Astrakhan railway line. The station is named after the famous traveler and naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who studied the Volga Region in the 18th century simultaneously with S. Gmelin and I. Lepekhin. In memory of the academicians of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, the nearby railway stations Pallasovka, Gmelinka and Lepekhinka were named. This is how the name Pallasovka first appeared on the geographical map. - The conclusions of the great scientist about the prospect of using the natural resources of the Trans-Volga region are formulated as a verdict: the land is so saline and barren that it is unsuitable for either grain growing or grazing. Life has refuted the gloomy assumptions of the academician. In a deserted semi-desert, a modern city is built, on the station square of which stands a sculptural monument to P. S. Pallas.
