History
In 1898 Orenburg Cossacks from the first Host district founded the Grodekovo (Гроде́ково) railway station, named after Nikolay Ivanovich Grodekov, Governor General of Priamurye (in office: 1898–1902). The settlement received its present name, "Pogranichny" – which means "border (town)" – in 1958.
