==History==
The ''[[village#Russia|selo]]'' of '''Alexandrovskoye''' ({{lang|ru|Алекса́ндровское}}) was founded in 1860<ref name="gr">{{cite book|title=Энциклопедия Города России|year=2003|publisher=Большая Российская Энциклопедия|location=Moscow|isbn=5-7107-7399-9|page=43}}</ref> by the settlers<ref name="Pospelov">Pospelov, p.&nbsp;25</ref> from the European part of Russia. In 1893, the ''selo'' of '''Bochkaryovka''' ({{lang|ru|Бочкарёвка}}) appeared nearby.<ref name="Pospelov" /> The two localities grew with the construction of a station on the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]] in 1913, and by 1923 Alexandrovskoye and Bochkarevka merged and were transformed into '''Alexandrovsk''' ({{lang|ru|Алекса́ндровск}}). Town status was granted to Alexandrovsk in 1926.<ref name="Pospelov" /> In 1931, it was renamed '''Krasnopartizansk''' ({{lang|ru|Краснопартиза́нск}}), then, in 1935, '''Kuybyshevka-Vostochnaya''' ({{lang|ru|Ку́йбышевка-Восто́чная}}), to commemorate the Soviet statesman [[Valerian Kuybyshev]].<ref name="Pospelov" /> In 1957, possibly to reduce the number of localities named after Kuybyshev, the town was given its present name.<ref name="Pospelov" /> While the literal meaning of the name is ''white mountains'', the reasons for renaming are unclear, as the town stands on a [[plain]] with no "white mountains" anywhere in the vicinity.<ref name="Pospelov" /> It is possible, however, that the name was due to the whitish color of the quartz sands of the bluffs on the [[Tom River]], or that it was allegorical, with the meaning of ''a white town''.<ref name="Pospelov" />
