Henichesk, Port city in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine.
Henichesk stands at the entrance of Syvash Lake where the Sea of Azov meets the shoreline, creating a natural maritime gateway.
The settlement emerged in 1784 as a fortified outpost of the Russian Empire following the annexation of the Crimean Khanate territories.
The population reflects the regional diversity with Ukrainians, Russians, and Tatars contributing to the local traditions and community life.
The city maintains its function as a transportation hub with maritime facilities connecting the Azov Sea routes to inland distribution networks.
The Azov-Syvash Game Preserve administration operates from Henichesk, managing the protection of regional wildlife and natural resources.
