HALICZ

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 838 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HALICZ , a town of Austria, in
Galicia
 , 70 M. by
rail
  S.S.E. of
Lemberg
 . Pop. (1900), 4809. It is situated at the confluence of the Luckow with the Dniester and its
principal
  resources are the recovery of
salt
  from the neighbouring brine wells, soap-making and the
trade
  in timber. In the neighbourhood are the ruins of the old castle, the seat of the ruler of the former kingdom from which
Galicia
  derived its Polish name. Halicz, which is mentioned in annals as early as 1113, was from 1141 to 1255 the residence of the princes of that name, one of the principalities into which western
Russia
  was then divided. The town was then much larger, as is shown by excavations in the
neighbour
 -hood made during the 19th
century
 , and probably met its doom during the Mongol invasion of 1240. In 1349 it was incorporated in the kingdom of Poland.
