Harbuzynka

Harbuzynka lies on a small river of the same name, a tributary of the Mertvovod in the Southern Bug basin. Several small settlements arose here in the middle of the eighteenth century, known as Haidamatske, Moldavanske and Lytovske. Settlers included Cossacks and people moved by the imperial authorities, and in 1799 the communities were united as one village. The river gave the settlement its name and linked it to the valleys leading towards the Bug.
