Lesozavodsk (Russian: Лесозаво́дск) is a town in Primorsky Krai, Russia, located on the Ussuri River (Amur's tributary), 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) from the Sino–Russian border and about 300 kilometers (190 mi) north of Vladivostok, the administrative center of the krai. Population: 37,034 (2010 Census);42,185 (2002 Census);44,065 (1989 Census); 37,000 (1972). It was formerly known as Ussuri (Уссури).
The first settlement on the site was founded in 1924 in connection with a sawmill. The settlement was originally named Dalles (Дальлес), from the Russian word dalny for "distant" (referring to the Russian Far East) and les for "forest". In 1932, Dalles was merged with the nearby village of Novostroyka, granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Lesozavodsk. Lesozavodsk was granted town status in 1938.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with twenty-one rural localities, incorporated as Lesozavodsk Town Under Krai Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Lesozavodsk Town Under Krai Jurisdiction is incorporated as Lesozavodsky Urban Okrug.
