Slavyansk Ukraine city history

In 1676 the fortress named Tor was built at the confluence of the Kazeniy Torets and Sukhiy Torets rivers. Under the protection of fortress first Russian salt production factory was built. So the town of Tor populated by factory workers grew up next to the fortress. In 1773 the population of Tor town was about 3900 (one third of them was working in salt production industry).

In 1782 the salt production was ceased because cheap Crimean salt became available. In 1784 the city was renamed to Slavensk and in 1794 the city received its current name Slavyansk.

In 1832 first soldiers of Russian army were taking treatment in Slavyansk town by salt water and therapeutic muds. This year is considered to be the date of Slavyansk health resort foundation. Currently Slavyansk city is an important health resort of Ukraine.
