Kherson Travel Guide

 

Kherson (Херсон) is a city situated in southern Ukraine on the banks of the Dnieper River close to the Black Sea (see map). With a population of roughly 305,000 inhabitants, it is an important Black Sea, Dnieper River port and home to a large ship-building industry.

 

By decree of Catherine the Great, the city was founded in 1778 as a naval base to defend Russian interests along the Black Sea coast. Beginning as an administrative and defense center, it developed into an important export center by the end of the 19th century. Today the city is a major river, sea and rail junction, exporting grain, timber, and manganese ore, while importing oil from the Caucasus region to feed local refineries.
