History of Yuzhnoukrainsk
The foundation date of Yuzhnoukrainsk can be considered April 1975, when the first builders of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant brought earth-moving machines on the field located on the southern outskirts of the village of Konstantinovka.
Before finalizing the location of the new city, Soviet planners and economists considered several projects.
After numerous discussions, the advantage received the draft, according to which the amount of agricultural land used was minimal, and the town was to be erected on the coastal slopes as a part of rural development.
This decision added additional challenges to builders. On the other hand, they were even happy with the fact that they would repeat a unique project of Budapest city and build a beautiful modern town on the banks of a river.
The town was named Konstantinovka-2. On April 2, 1987, it received its current name - Yuzhnoukrainsk (“a city in the south of Ukraine”).
