This article appears in Volume V03, Page 716 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BENDER (more correctly BENDERY) , a town of
Russia
 , in the government of
Bessarabia
 , on the right bank of the Dniester, 37 M. by
rail
  S.E. of Kishinev. It possesses a tobacco factory, candle-works and brick-kilns, and is an important river port, vessels discharging here their cargoes of corn, wine, wool, cattle, flour and tallow, to be conveyed by land to Odessa and to Yassy in Rumania. Timber also is floated down the Dniester. The citadel was dismantled in 1897. The town had in 1867 a
population
  of 24,443, and in 1900 of 33,741, the greater proportion being
Jews
 . As early as the 12th
century
  the Genoese had a
settlement
  on the site of
Bender
 . In 1709 Charles XII., after the defeat of
Poltava
 , collected his forces here in a camp which they called New Stockholm, and continued there till 1713.
Bender
  was taken by the Russians in 1770, in 1789 and in 1806, but it was not held permanently by
Russia
  till 1812.
