Iagorlîc

Iagorlîc lay where the river of that name joins the Dniester. A document of 1574 mentions an estate there with mills at the river mouth. The valley later became a boundary between the Polish and Ottoman realms: after the Treaty of Karlowitz, surveyors traced the frontier from the Dniester along the Iagorlîc and onward towards the Kodyma. The river thus marked both a local place of settlement and a division between larger powers.
