history

The village was founded in 1865 by resettlers from central Russia near Military Post No. 8 , location of the headquarters of the 3rd East Siberian Border Battalion, after the Primorsky Territory was annexed to Russia according to the Treaty of Aigun in 1858. Its name is a combination of the Russian words came for stone or rock and rybolow for fisherman , literally "fish catcher" ; the exact reason for this designation is unknown. In 1867 and 1868 Nikolai Prschewalski visited Lake Khankas on his first trip; In his book Journey to the Ussuri Region , he also describes the early years of the village of Kamen-Rybolow. Later other naturalists like Richard Maack stayed in the village.

In 1933 a railway line was opened starting from the Mansowka station (today Sibirzewo ) of the Trans-Siberian Railway along the western bank of Lake Chanka via Kamen-Rybolow to Novokachalinsk (Katschalowka) (and in 1941 it was extended to Turi Rog, directly on the border with China ).

In 1936 a military airfield was built on the western outskirts of the village, where the 47th fighter regiment of the Soviet air force was stationed. This first played a significant role during the Japanese-Soviet border conflict in 1938/1939. In 1946 the regiment was relocated; the airfield was used for civil purposes until 1990.

On January 4, 1926, Kamen-Rybolow was the administrative center of Lake Khanka Rajons. In the 1960s in particular, the village grew rapidly with the settlement of fish and agricultural products processing companies and the incorporation of the immediately adjacent village of Astrachanka.
