history

The village was founded in 1903 under the name of Kotelnoye as one of the first Russian settlements on the territory of today's Raion . It was later given its current designation from Russian novo- for “new” and Pokrov for the Orthodox Feast of Protection and Intercession , to which the church built there was presumably dedicated. On March 23, 1935, Novopokrowka became the administrative seat of the newly created Postyshevsky rajon, named after the politician Pavel Postyshev , who was active in the region during the Russian Civil War . Already in 1936 the Rajon got its current name after the Red Army , Russian Krasnaya Armija. The Rajon initially belonged to the Khabarovsk Oblast of the then Far East region, with its division it came to the short-lived Ussuri Oblast of the Primorye Region on October 20, 1938, and with the dissolution of the Ussuri Oblast on September 18, 1943 directly to the Primorye Region.
