Khmelnytskyi oblast
Khmel'nyts'kyi. The city is first mentioned in historical
documents in 1493 under the name of Ploskyriv, which comes from the Ploska River
and the moat (riv in Ukr.) encircling the city. At that time, it was a small
settlement with a wooden fortress and a garrison. In the 1780s it was renamed
Proskuriv. In 1954 to commemorate the great historic accomplishments of the
outstanding military leader and statesman Bohdan Khmel'nyts'kyi the regional
centre was named after him.
Tourists' attention can be attracted by the exhibits in the Museum of History
and Local Lore, Art, and Literary Museums. It will be interesting to visit the
Podillia Dendrological Park founded in 1964. This monument of landscape
gardening, which covers an area of 30 ha, has a collection of more than 400
valuable local and acclimatised species >>>>
