Bolotnoye

Bolotnoye (Russian: Боло́тное, lit. swampy) is a town and the administrative center of Bolotninsky District of Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia, located 126 kilometers (78 mi) northeast of Novosibirsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 16,570 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 18,170 (2002 Census);[2] 20,006 (1989 Census).[3]

Bolotnoye began with the establishment of a way station along the Siberian Route at the town's present location, in 1805.[4] By 1896, when the Trans-Siberian Railway had reached the same location, the area was known as Bolotnoskaya. A railroad station with buffet service was established there, and development of an accompanying settlement began in earnest. The area name was later shortened to Bolotnoye. Bolotnoye was, however, officially granted town status only in 1943.
