Kerch

Port in the Crimea, Ukraine, situated at the eastern end of the Kerch peninsula; population (1990) 176,000. Kerch is a fishing centre, and also lies in a region rich in iron-ore and natural gas. Its industries include iron and steel production and shipbuilding.

Kerch was built on the site of the ancient Greek settlement of Panticapaeum, founded in the 6th century BC. It was part of the Genoese trading region established in the eastern Crimea in the Middle Ages. Captured by the Ottomans in 1475, it was annexed by Russia in 1783.
