Kolomna Municipal Okrug (Saint Petersburg)

Russia / Sankt Petersburg / Saint Petersburg
 invisible, third-level administrative division
Municipal okrug of Admiralteysky District of the federal city of St. Petersburg, Russia. Population: 39,164 (2010 Census).
The settlement areas of future Kolomna (the name is believed to have originated from Russified names of survey pillars - columns) was carried out after the fires in 1736 and 1737 devastated the Maritime and Admiralty settlement. Resettlement of people from these settlements gave rise to another version of the name. Perhaps, in the reign of Anna Ioannovna the formation of the names could influence the German language, in translation, from which the settler were called colonists, and the place they inhabited - a colony that Russian remade in its own way - Kolomna.
