The railway station is called Petrovsk-Saratov , to avoid confusion with similar settlements in the Chita and Yaroslavl regions.

History
Petrovsk is an old merchant city, founded by a personal decree of Peter the Great in 1698 to protect the region from raids of the Crimean Tatars , as well as "so that from now on in the roundabout cities ... free people did not come and did not repair any ruin ...". According to legend, the founder personally visited the city in 1707.
The construction of the Petrovsk fortress was of great importance for its time, since from Saratov through Atkarsk and Penza there was a land tract from Tsaritsyn to Moscow , and the sparsely populated banks of the Medveditsa abounded with robber gangs robbing people passing along the highway. From Petrovsk began a fortified watch line with settlements.
The fortress itself had a quadrangular shape, was surrounded by double oak walls with 8 covered towers. Inside the fortress were the Cathedral of Peter and Paul, mansion buildings for the governor, stables, archives, barns.
Since 1780 - the county town of Saratov province .
The coat of arms of the city is a vowel .
July 23, 1928 the city becomes the center of the Petrovsky district of the Saratov district of the Lower Volga region (since 1936 as part of the Saratov region ).
