  N.E. from Rostov. Pop. (1897) 52,005. It was founded in 1805, when the inhabitants of the Cherkassk stanitsa (now Old Cherkassk) were compelled to leave their abodes on the banks of the Don on account of the frequent inundations. The town is an archiepiscopal see of the Orthodox Greek
Church
 , and possesses a

trade
  is carried on in corn, wine and timber (exports), and manufactures and grocery wares (imports).
