Cherkasy, Administrative center in central Ukraine.

The city extends along the Dnieper River for 17 kilometers, with an elevation of 110 meters at the Kremenchuk Reservoir location point.

Founded in the 14th century as a Lithuanian fortification, the settlement functioned as a frontier outpost against Tatar raids until 1569 under Polish administration.

The regional museums in Cherkasy present exhibitions about local history, featuring artifacts from the periods of Ukrainian Cossacks and early settlements.

The transportation network includes a system of buses and trolleybuses that connect different areas of the city with the railway station and riverside districts.

The chemical plant Azot, established after World War II, transformed Cherkasy into an industrial center with facilities for nitrogen fertilizer production.
