Balta, Administrative center in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine
The city of Balta sits at an elevation of 23 meters above sea level on the banks of the Kodyma River in southern Ukraine.
The settlement evolved from two separate towns, Balta and Józefgród, which merged in 1797 under Russian administration following annexation from Polish territory.
The population of Balta reached 23,363 residents by 1897, with a substantial Jewish community that shaped the commercial development of the regional trade center.
The construction of a railroad connection to Odesa in 1865 transformed Balta into a major agricultural trading hub for the surrounding Podolia region.
Between 1924 and 1929, Balta held the position of capital city for the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic before territorial reorganization.
