Town and the administrative center of Dalmatovsky District in Kurgan Oblast, Russia, located east of the Ural Mountains on the north bank of the Iset River (Tobol's tributary; Ob's basin), opposite the mouth of the Techa River, 192 kilometers (119 mi) northwest of Kurgan, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 13,911 (2010 Census).
It was founded in 1644 as a sloboda next to the Dalmat Assumption Monastery, founded by a monk named Dalmat (hence, the name). Later on, this sloboda became a settlement of Dalmatovskoye (Далма́товское). Dalmatovo is known to have been one of the first centers of orthodoxy, literacy, and Russian culture in the Trans-Ural region in the early 18th century. It was also a place of exile for some of the Old Believers. In 1781, Dalmatovo was granted town status but then downgraded back to rural status in 1797. In the 19th century, Dalmatovo was known as a major center of cucumber cultivation and hop picking. In 1947, it was granted towns status once again.
