Panovka

The settlement was founded in 1907 as part of P.A. Stolypin's agrarian reforms by Russians, Mennonites, and German colonists from the Black Sea region who received large land allotments. By the 1910s, basic public structures, including a school, appeared here, and the economy was based on the production of grain and dairy products. By 1928, the settlement consisted of 48 households, was the center of the Panovsky rural council, and had 265 residents, the majority of whom were Germans. Currently, the basis of the village's economy is agriculture, represented by 14 peasant farming enterprises and the "Stepnoy Oazis" enterprise. As of April 1, 2026, the population is 121 people.
