UMAR

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 574 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
UMAR , a town of
Russia
 , in the government of Kiev, 120 M. S. of the city of Kiev. Pop. 28,628, many of whom are
Jews
 , and carry on the export of corn, spirits, &c. It has a park (290 acres), planted in 1793 by
Count
 
Potocki
 , and now containing a gardening school. Uman was founded early in the 17th
century
  as a fort against the Tatar raiders. The Cossacks of the
Ukraine
 , who kept it, revolted against their
Polish
  rulers about 1665, and sustained a fierce siege. In 1674 it was plundered and most of its inhabitants murdered by the Ukrainians and Turks. In 1712 its last occupants were transferred by
Peter
  the
Great
  to the left bank of the
Dnieper
 . But by the end of the 18th
century
 , when it again became the property of the Potockis, it was repeopled and became one of the busiest trading towns of Little
Russia
 . In 1768, when the Cossacks revolted anew against the Poles, they took Uman and murdered most of its inhabitants.
