The Kolonistsky Pond was made on the base of the two artificial rectangular ponds dug in 1804 on the Pavlovsk water supply system. The old track of the Moscow Road was located between them. Later, when entrance into Tsarskoye Selo was moved to the colony Fridental, the dam between ponds and the old track of the Moscow Road were destroyed. Works were done in 1824-1825 under the direction of the architect A.A. Menelaws. Two ponds were combined into one large pond, however the form and size of two former ponds can be seen in the shape of the new pond central part. Water from the pond was run to the colony of Fridental, this event gave the name Colonistsky (Colonsts’ Pond) to the pond. Afterwards the Kolonistsky Pond became an important part of the composition of the Separated Park created in 1839-1849 on both pond sides by the gardeners F.F. Lyamin and I.F. Piper.
