A city (2014 pop 66,687) at the confluence of the <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CS%5CY%5CSyniukhaRiver.htm">Syniukha River</a> and the <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CB%5CO%5CBohRiver.htm">Boh River</a> and a raion center in Mykolaiv oblast. It was formed in 1919 through the amalgamation of three separate settlements, Olviopil, Bohopil, and Holta, each of which was founded by a different state. In 1420 the Lithuanian grand duke <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CV%5CY%5CVytautastheGreat.htm">Vytautas the Great</a> constructed a bridge for <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CM%5CE%5CMerchants.htm">merchants</a> and traders near the present site of the city. Later a <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CZ%5CA%5CZaporozhianCossack.htm">Zaporozhian Cossack</a> fortress called Orlyka was built on the left bank of the Syniukha River, and by 1774 a <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CV%5CI%5CVillage.htm">village</a> called Orlyk had arisen there. Eventually the settlement was renamed Yekaterynyshanets, and in 1782, Olviopil. Nearby, on the right bank of the Boh River, <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CC%5CO%5CCossacks.htm">Cossacks</a> and Ukrainian <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CP%5CE%5CPeasants.htm">peasants</a> founded Holta, which was under <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CT%5CU%5CTurkish.htm">Turkish</a> rule until 1791, when it was acquired by <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CR%5CU%5CRussia.htm">Russia</a>. The third settlement, Bohopil, arose after the <a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CP%5CO%5CPoles.htm">Poles</a> built a fortress and a frontier post on the left bank of the Boh River. In the mid-18th century, the frontiers of three states, the Russian (<a href="https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CZ%5CA%5CZaporizhiaThe.htm">the Zaporizhia</a>), Ottoman, and Polish, met at that point. Today Pervomaisk is a major industrial center. Its plants produce sugar, beer, furniture, textiles, plastic goods, construction materials, and machines.</P> <P class="padingHistoryLand" style="TEXT-ALIGN: right">[This article originally appeared in the <I>Encyclopedia of Ukraine</I>, vol. 3 (1993).]</P> <BR> <CENTER> <P class="padingHistoryLand"></P> </CENTER> </div> <div class="clear"></div>  <div class="bg9 marginbottom tc">    <div class="dr20 tc marginZero TotalWidth"> <A name="linksaddress"> </A> <BR> <HR class="marginZero"> <H2 class="tc mb b rozmiar50">List of related links from Encyclopedia of Ukraine pointing to <span class="FontDarkBlue b "> Pervomaisk</span> entry: <BR> </H2> <Div> <label for="groovybtn1" class="visuallyhidden">1 Alchevsk</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn1" name="groovybtn1" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 1 Alchevsk " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CA%5CL%5CAlchevsk.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn2" class="visuallyhidden">2 Boh River</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn2" name="groovybtn2" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 2 Boh River " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CB%5CO%5CBohRiver.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn3" class="visuallyhidden">3 Bulgarians in Ukraine</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn3" name="groovybtn3" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 3 Bulgarians in Ukraine " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CB%5CU%5CBulgariansinUkraine.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn4" class="visuallyhidden">4 Donets Basin</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn4" name="groovybtn4" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 4 Donets Basin " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CD%5CO%5CDonetsBasin.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn5" class="visuallyhidden">5 Kherson gubernia</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn5" name="groovybtn5" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 5 Kherson gubernia " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CK%5CH%5CKhersongubernia.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn6" class="visuallyhidden">6 Luhansk oblast</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn6" name="groovybtn6" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 6 Luhansk oblast " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CL%5CU%5CLuhanskoblast.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn7" class="visuallyhidden">7 Olviopil</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn7" name="groovybtn7" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 7 Olviopil " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CO%5CL%5COlviopil.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn8" class="visuallyhidden">8 Slabchenko, Mykhailo</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn8" name="groovybtn8" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 8 Slabchenko, Mykhailo " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CS%5CL%5CSlabchenkoMykhailo.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn9" class="visuallyhidden">9 Southwestern dialects</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn9" name="groovybtn9" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 9 Southwestern dialects " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CS%5CO%5CSouthwesterndialects.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn10" class="visuallyhidden">10 Syniukha River</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn10" name="groovybtn10" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 10 Syniukha River " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CS%5CY%5CSyniukhaRiver.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn11" class="visuallyhidden">11 Vilinsky, Mykola</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn11" name="groovybtn11" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 11 Vilinsky, Mykola " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CV%5CI%5CVilinskyMykola.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn12" class="visuallyhidden">12 Vinhranovsky, Mykola</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn12" name="groovybtn12" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 12 Vinhranovsky, Mykola " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CV%5CI%5CVinhranovskyMykola.htm'"> <label for="groovybtn13" class="visuallyhidden">13 Zarnytska, Yefrosyniia</label> <INPUT id="groovybtn13" name="groovybtn13" class="groovybutton" TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" 13 Zarnytska, Yefrosyniia " ONCLICK="document.location.href='https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CZ%5CA%5CZarnytskaYefrosyniia.htm'"> </Div> <BR> <P class="tc"> <form name="bbback" action="self">  </form> <p class="tc b">A referral to this page is found in 13 entries.</p> <BR> </DIV> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class=" bg8 tc marginZero FontWhite FontVerdana" aria-label="local"> <br> Click Home to get to the IEU Home page;
