Tavriiske (Таврійське) is a village in Ukraine. Scheromet was the German name of a village which was settled by Hutterites from 1868 to 1874, when the Hutterites left for Canada.[1]
Geography
[edit]Tavriiske is located on the right bank of the Konka River, opposite the village Yurkivka (Юрківка) and on the Territorial Road T-08-03. The village is the administrative center of a district municipality in the center of Zaporizhzhia District, located about 50 km southeast of Zaporizhzhia Oblast center Zaporizhzhia and 14 km northwest of the district center Orikhiv.
History
[edit]Incorporated in 1798, the village developed from a farm that was founded in 1770. It then bore the name Zherebets (Жеребець) until 1939, then the name Kirove (Ukrainian: Кірове, Russian Кирово/Kirovo) until 12 May 2016 when it was renamed to the current name to comply with decommunization in Ukraine. The village has a railway station on the railway line Zaporizhia-Polohy.
