history

The place was founded in 1840 by resettlers from the area around Saint Petersburg and initially received the official name Prosor, after the name of the first settler. In the course of the 19th century, however, the current name, derived from the popular short name Piter for Saint Petersburg, became common. The village initially belonged to the Ujesd Nowousensk of the Saratov governorate , which was transferred to the newly founded Samara governorate in 1851 . The fast-growing village experienced a further economic boom when an initially narrow-gauge railway line ( gauge 1000 mm) was passed from Urbach (today Pushkino) - on the previously opened line from Pokrovsk (today Engels) to Uralsk (today Oral in Kazakhstan) - via Krasny Kut and Novousensk by the private Ryazan-Uralsk Railway (until 1906 to Krasny Kut, on the remainder after 1922 rebuilt to broad gauge ).

After the place had been reintegrated into the Saratov governorate with the Ujesd in 1919, it became the administrative seat of Rajons on July 23, 1928, which initially belonged to the Lower Volga region (Nizhne-Wolschski krai) , from 1934 to the Saratov region and finally from 1936 to Saratov Oblast. From 1985 to 1995 Piterka had urban-type settlement status .
