Town status, however, was not granted to Polyarnoye until 19 September 1939, when it was at the same time renamed Polyarny. In 1934, the Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee unsuccessfully petitioned to grant town status to Polyarnoye and to rename it Krasnoflotsk. While the Presidium of the VTsIK never officially gave a final approval for this renaming, de facto the name has changed. On 5 March 1931 the new name of the district was approved by the administrative commission of the Leningrad Oblast Executive Committee, and on 11 March 1931 by its Presidium. On 12 January 1931 the Third Congress of the Soviets of Alexandrovsky District issued a resolution, renaming the district "Polyarny" at the same time the village of Alexandrovskoye was renamed Polyarnoye ( Поля́рное). At the same time the name was unofficially changed to Alexandrovskoye ( Александровское). On 9 January 1926 the assembly of the town residents created Alexandrovsky Selsoviet and on 15 March 1926, when the VTsIK approved the recommendation to demote the towns, Alexandrovsk and Kola were re-categorized as rural localities. On 16 October 1925, when the Murmansk Governorate Commission meeting initiated work on compiling lists of the urban and rural localities - Murmansk, Alexandrovsk, and Kola were categorized as urban however, a recommendation was sent to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) to demote the latter two to rural localities due to economic conditions, sparse population, low trade volume, lack of industrial enterprises, and "general regression". However, the Murmansky Uyezd Executive Committee's did not approve the creation of all six selsoviets, with Alexandrovsky Selsoviet being one which did not get an approval. On the Alexandrovskaya Volost Executive Committee divided the territory of the volost into six selsoviets, including Alexandrovsky Selsoviet with the administrative center in Alexandrovsk. At the same time, Alexandrovsk became an uyezd town, for which reason Kolsky Uyezd was renamed Alexandrovsky. Town status was granted to it on 20 June 1899. Other sources, however, state that the original name was Alexandrovsk-na-Murmane ( Алекса́ндровск-на-Му́рмане), it was called so after Alexandra Fyodorovna, wife of Emperor Nicholas II, and did not become known as "Alexandrovsk" until later. It was founded in 1896 and named Alexandrovsk ( Алекса́ндровск) in honor of Tsar Alexander III. It was previously known as Alexandrovsk (until 15 March 1926), Alexandrovskoye (until 11 March 1931), Polyarnoye (until 19 September 1939). Polyarny ( Russian: Поля́рный) is a town and the administrative center of the closed administrative-territorial formation of Alexandrovsk in Murmansk Oblast, Russia, situated on the outermost western side of the Kola Bay.
