Type of Settlement
History

Neu-Galka was founded in 1860 by Lutheran colonists resettling from Galka and Dobrinka.

After the deportation of 1941, the area occupied by the former village was absorbed into the nearby Russian town of Pallasovka and is today a neighhood of Pallasovka.

An English translation of the 1857 census is available for purchase from the translators.
