Olga, Russia
Olga (Russian: О́льга) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Olginsky District of Primorsky Krai, Russia, situated on the Olga Bay of the Sea of Japan, 240 kilometers (150 mi) northeast of Nakhodka. Population: 4,026 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 4,453 (2002 Census);[2] 4,802 (1989 Census).[3]
The military post of Olga was established by the Russians in 1860, several months after the area passed to Russia under the terms of the Treaty of Aigun. It was named for Saint Olga. In the 19th century, the village had a significant Chinese minority.
During the Balhae period, a town called Anju (Hangul :안주, Hanja : 安州) was founded near the present-day Olga, on the shores of Olga Bay, which was the administrative center of Anbyeon Prefecture (Hangul : 안변부, Hanja :安邊府).
