geography

The city with around 37,000 inhabitants (2016) is located about 71 kilometers northeast of the oblast capital Kherson . The town of Beryslaw is located on the opposite bank of the reservoir . The two cities are connected by the Dnieper Bridge at the nearby city of Nowa Kachowka , which is the only bridge over the Dnieper between Kherson and Zaporizhia .

history

The city's origins lie in a fortress that was built by the Crimean Khanate in 1492 but was finally destroyed in 1695. In 1771 the settlement Shagingirejskoje (Ukrainian Шагингирейское ) was mentioned on the foundation walls , and in 1791 today's Kachowka emerged from this. In 1918 it was made a city, and since 1972 it has been under oblast administration.

During the Russian Civil War , battles against the White Army took place at the bridgehead erected here by the Red Army , which has been commemorated by the monumental “ Legendary Tachanka ” monument at the gates of the city since 1967 .

The reservoir built between 1947 and 1956 is decisive for the city. There is a large food factory in the village itself.

The main outer belt asteroid (2894) Kakhovka is named after the city.
