PODOLSK

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 875 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PODOLSK , a town of
Russia
 , in the government of Moscow, 26 m. S. of the city of Moscow, at the junction of the two main roads from Moscow to the Crimea and to
Warsaw
 . Pop. (1881), 11,000; (1897), 3808. It is picturesquely built on the hilly banks of the Pakhra, here crossed by a suspension
bridge
  for carriages as well as by the railway
bridge
 . Down to 1781 the wealthy
village
  of Podol was a dependency of the Danilov monastery in Moscow. Before the opening of the southern railway the caravans of wagons and sledges to and from Moscow used to
halt
  here; the
principal
  occupation of the inhabitants was innkeeping and supplying the caravans with provisions and other necessaries of travel. The limestone quarries, at the confluence of the Desna and the Pakhra,
supply
  the
capital
  with good building material; and there are a cement, lime and brick factory and a
paper
 -mill.
