Как назывался Павлодар до Октябрьской революции?
One of the oldest cities in northern Kazakhstan, "Pavlodar" was founded in 1720 as "Koryakovsky", an Imperial Russian outpost. The settlement was created to establish control over the region's salt lakes, an important source of valuable salt. In 1861 the settlement was renamed "Pavlodar" and incorporated as a town. Pavlodar's significance was due in large measure to the substantial agricultural and salt-producing industries that had developed there despite the town's relatively small population. Pavlodar's population numbered only about 8,000 in 1897. The name "Pavlodar" means " The Gift of Paul", and was chosen to commemorate the birth of the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia.
