• Bangert was founded on 1 July 1767 by colonists who had been recruited by LeRoy & Pictet. The colony was named after Johann Heinrich Bangert, its first mayor (Vorsteher) who had come from the German village of Niederlauken in Nassau-Usingen.
• The colony began with 32 households and 83 colonists. It had a fruit processing mill, and it was home to one of the largest Volga German oil mills.
• Today, what remains of the former colony of Bangert is known as Zaumorye, Russia.
