Geography
The relief of the territory is flat, with small hills whose height does not exceed 150–220 meters (490–720 ft). The territory of the town is crossed by the Spassovka and Kuleshovka Rivers (the latter was until 1972 known as the Santakheza).
History
The first migrants from the western parts of Russia appeared in the area of today's Spassk-Dalny in 1886.[citation needed] They founded the village of Spasskoye, which in 1917 became the town of Spassk-Dalny.[citation needed] During the Russian Civil War, Spassk-Dalny was the arena of hard battles between the White and Red Armies.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Spassk-Dalny serves as the administrative center of Spassky District,[2] even though it is not a part of it.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as Spassk-Dalny Town Under Krai Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1] As a municipal division, Spassk-Dalny Town Under Krai Jurisdiction is incorporated as Spassk-Dalny Urban Okrug.[3]
Economy
Historically, Spassk-Dalny formed as the center of the construction industry of the krai, due to the reserves of limestone, clay, and construction sand in its vicinities. Currently the largest enterprise is JSC Spassktsement, which has been operating since 1907 and can produce up to 3.5 million tonnes of cement per year. The cement plant is represented in the town's coat of arms.
Spassk-Dalny has a station on the Trans-Siberian Railway, with passenger trains connecting the town to destinations including Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, and Moscow. The M60 motorway between Khabarovsk and Vladivostok also passes near the town.
For many years during the Cold War, the Soviet Air Forces had a base near the town. In the late 1980s it hosted:
- 821st Fighter Aviation Regiment PVO (11th Air Defence Army)
- 219th Long-Range Reconnaissance Aviation Regiment (30th Air Army, Long Range Aviation) with Tupolev Tu-16
Culture
The town features a museum of local lore and "Aurora" movie theater.
There are over twenty monuments of history and culture in Spassk-Dalny, with more than a half of them devoted to the participants of the Civil War in the Russian Far East who supported the Bolsheviks. There are also monuments connected with the events of World War II.
