General information about Znamianka

The city of Znamianka is called the gateway to the south of Ukraine, as it is an important railway junction where the railway lines from Kyiv to Mykolaiv and the Dnipro cross. Located between Kropyvnytskyi and Oleksandriia, 35 kilometers from the regional center. Administratively, it is part of the Kropyvnytskyi district of the Kirovohrad region.

The city was founded in 1869 as a railway station on the newly built Odesa - Kharkiv railway, which was located on the clearing of the famous Black Forest (now the Chornolisky landscape reserve). The city got its name from the nearby ancient Cossack settlement Znamianka (now Znamianka Druha, an urban-type settlement).

Місто Знам’янка називають воротами півдня України, оскільки воно є важливим залізничним вузлом, де перетинаються залізничні магістралі з Києва на Миколаїв і Дніпро. Розташоване між Кропивницьким та Олександрією, за 35 кілометрів від обласного центру. Адміністративно входить до складу Кропивницького району Кіровоградської області.

Місто засноване у 1869 році як залізнична станція на новозбудованій залізниці Одеса – Харків, яку розташували на галявині знаменитого Чорного лісу (нині ландшафтний заказник "Чорноліський"). Свою назву місто отримало від розташованого неподалік старовинного козацького поселення Знам'янка (нині селище міського типу Знам'янка Друга).

Since 2004, the local lore museum has had an official status, and "Kobzar Room" functions as its branch. Another descendant of Shevchenko, Vyacheslav Shkoda, made a significant contribution to the development of the institution (a memorial plaque has been installed near the entrance).

They tell about the history of the foundation of Znamianka during Cossack times, its development as a station on the Odesa - Kharkiv railway, cultural and public figures of the end of the 19th - the first half of the 20th centuries, the events of the Second World War and the modern Russian-Ukrainian wars. The central exhibit here is a model of the railway station "Znamianka" and the nearby town of the beginning of the 20th century.
