The town consists of two parts: Lesnaya Volchanka in the north (or Volchansk proper) and Volchanka in the south.[citation needed]
Town status was granted to Volchansk in 1956.[2]
Within the framework of the administrative divisions, it is, together with ten rural localities, subordinated to the Town of Karpinsk[1]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[11] As a municipal division, Volchansk, together with two rural localities under the administrative jurisdiction of the Town of Karpinsk, is incorporated as Volchansky Urban Okrug.[5][1] Karpinsk and eight other rural localities are incorporated separately as Karpinsk Urban Okrug.[5]
A tram system started operating in Volchansk on December 31, 1951. The total length of the tram line is about 7 kilometers (4.3 mi).
