Місто виникло в середині XVII століття на місці злиття річок Саксагані та Інгульця, де утворився довгий мис або "ріг". Датою заснування вважають 1775 рік, коли в урочищі Кривий Ріг була відкрита станція поштового тракту. Спочатку було військовим поселенням, потім з розвитком видобутку залізної руди перетворилося на промисловий центр, поштовхом для чого стало спорудження в 1884 році Катерининської залізниці.

MODR Rocks
Natural object
The rocks of MODR in Kryvyi Rih are a geological monument of nature, a kind of museum of geology in the open air.
Picturesque rock outcrops are located on both banks of the Inhulets River along the former mining village of MODR (International Organization of Assistance to Fighters of the Revolution) within the city of Kryvyi Rih. It is a unique geological section of iron ore rocks that were formed about 2 billion years ago.
The Rocks of MODR consist of two massifs: Velyka Orlynka (Eagle's Nest) and Mala Orlynka. The latter is particularly interesting for the caves and grottos located here, where the ancient Scythians and Ulich Slavs mined ore.
According to legend, in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Cossacks hid their treasure here.
Individual rocks reach a height of 28 meters, which makes the rocks of MODR attractive for climbers. One of the most beautiful panoramas of Kryvyi Rih opens from here.
