Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAMARA , a town of E.
Russia
 ,
capital
  of the government of the same name, 305 M. by river S.S.E of Kazan and 261 m. by rail W.N.W.of Orenburg. Its population, which was 63,479 in 1883, numbered 91,672 in 1897. Owing to its situation on the left bank of the
Volga
 , at the convergence of the Siberian and Central Asian railways, it has
great
  commercial importance, especially as a depot for cereals and a centre for flour-milling. A considerable
trade
  is also carried on in animal products, particularly hides. The other
industries
  include iron-foundries, soap, candles, vehicles and glue factories, cooperages, tanneries, breweries and brick-works. The port is the best on the
Volga
 . Three
great
  fairs are held every year. The city, which gives title to a
bishop
  of the Orthodox Greek
Church
 , has three cathedrals, built in 1685, 1730-1735 and 1894 respectively, three public libraries, and a natural history and archaeological museum. It is famous for its kumis (mare's milk) cures. Its foundation took place in 1586-1591 for the purpose of protecting the Russian frontier against the Bashkirs, the Kalmucks and the Nogai Tatars.
