KOLOMEA (Polish, Kolomyja)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 891 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KOLOMEA (Polish, Kolomyja) , a town of Austria, in
Galicia
 , 122 M. S. of
Lemberg
  by rail. Pop. (1900), 34,188, of which half were
Jews
 . It is situated on the Pruth, and has an active
trade
  in agricultural products. To the N.E. of Kolomea, near the Dniester, lies the
village
  of Czernelica, with ruins of a strongly fortified castle, which served as the residence of John Sobieski during his
campaigns
  against the Turks. Kolomea is a very old town and is mentioned already in 1240, but the assertion that it was a Roman
settlement
  under the name of Colonia is not proved. It was the
principal
  town of the Polish province of Pokutia, and it suffered severely during the 15th and 16th centuries from the attacks of the Moldavians and the
Tatars
 .
