Sambir

Sambir

also spelled  Sambor 

      city, western Ukraine, on the Dniester River. Built after the settlement of Staryi Sambir (Old Sambir) was destroyed by the Tatars (Tatar) in 1241, Sambir emerged as an important trade and manufacturing centre while under Polish rule (1387–1772). Under Austrian rule (1772–1918) it served as a minor county seat. Its economy improved when it became a railway junction before World War I. Sambir's industries have produced such goods as food, clothing, and furniture. The city also features several educational institutions as well as a number of architectural monuments and museums. Pop. (2005 est.) 35,479.
