Bor, Industrial town on Volga River, Russia.

Bor stretches along the left bank of the Volga River directly opposite to Nizhny Novgorod, connected by two bridges crossing the water.

The settlement, first documented in the 14th century, developed into an industrial center after receiving town status in 1938 and establishing glass production facilities.

The town maintains strong industrial traditions through its glass manufacturing facilities, which began operations in 1934 to supply materials for regional automobile production.

Transportation between Bor and Nizhny Novgorod occurs via two bridges constructed in 1965 and 2017, plus regular ferry services during navigation season.

From Nizhny Novgorod's riverside, observers can view the entire industrial landscape of Bor spread across the opposite bank of the Volga River.
