Pavlohrad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pavlohrad (Ukrainian: Павлоград) is a city in eastern Ukraine. It is located at around . Population: 118,800 (2001).
The rivers of Vovcha (runs through the city 12,85 km), Hnizdka (3,9 km), Kocherha (2,9 km) flow through Pavlohrad. Territory of the city is 5,93 thous. hectares. There are 20 schools and 1 lyceum in the city.
There were a significant Jewish community in Pavlohrad prior to 1941. Founding date of its Jewish community is 1780. Pre-Holocaust Jewish population was approx. at 4,000. It was destroyed during Nazi occupation in 1941.
The city is home to Pavlohrad Mechanical Plant (PMZ) that was established in December of 1963 as a specialized production facility of the Plant no. 586 (now Pivdenmash Production Assn.). Russian Defense Business Directory (1995) quotes 1931 as establishment date. Perhaps, that relates to a previous facility, which existed at that place and was used as a basis for PMZ. (According to some sources, it was initially a workshop associated with an artillery test range.) PMZ is a dedicated factory for assembly, perfection and production of solid-fueled rocket engines and missiles. By 1975 PMZ became the largest solid-rocket factory within the Ministry of General Machine Building of USSR. PMZ made fuel tanks for booster rockets and plastic ICBM rocket motor casings; parts, components, and assemblies for aerospace systems manufacturing.
