Oleksandrivka, Urban settlement in Oleksandrivka Raion, Ukraine
Oleksandrivka is an urban-type settlement stretching along the left bank of the Southern Bug River in Ukraine. The community features a hydroelectric power station at its central dam and is served by two railway stations.
The settlement was founded in the early 1900s and received its urban-type classification in 1968 through Soviet administrative reforms. This designation marked its transformation into an official urban settlement category.
The settlement blends farming with industrial activity, where the power station and rail lines shape everyday life. People here live in a rhythm defined by both natural surroundings and technical infrastructure.
The settlement is accessible by two railway stations, with one located roughly three kilometers from the center. Visitors should plan to explore the river landscape and the adjoining nature park as key attractions.
The settlement's dam creates a water reservoir that integrates with the National Nature Park Buh Gard and supports local ecosystems. This connection between hydroelectric power and nature preservation makes it a rare example of industrial and ecological coexistence.
