Стара Ігрень, Residential district in Samara District of Dnipro, Ukraine.
Stara Ihren is a residential area on the northern Ihren Peninsula, positioned between the Dnipro River and the Shyianka River. The settlement sits in a geography shaped by two waterways that define its boundaries and character.
The area was founded during the Russian-Turkish War in 1736 when the Ust-Samara fortress was built and common people settled there. Archaeological digs in the 1930s revealed that Slavic communities had lived here long before.
The name "Stara Ihren" means "Old Ihren," reflecting the early settlement history of this location. You can see how the village takes shape along the riverbanks, following the natural geography that has defined it for centuries.
You can reach this area by suburban trains and buses that connect to central Dnipro. These regular services make it easy to travel to and from the city center for any reason.
Archaeological excavations in the 1930s uncovered a Slavic settlement with multiple quarters that stayed above water after the Dnipro Reservoir was created. This finding shows that human occupation here stretches back much further than the later fortress structures.
