Kremenchuk


 

Kremenchuk ({{lang-ua|?????????}}; {{lang-ru|??????????}}, Kremenchug) is an important industrial city in central Ukraine, located on the banks of Dnieper.

History

Kremenchuk was supposedly founded in 1571. From its situation at the southern terminus of the navigable course of the Dnieper, and on the highway from Muscovy to Black Sea, it early acquired great commercial importance, and, by 1655, it was a wealthy Cossack town.
