General information about Popasna

Popasna is a large railway junction 30 km east of Bakhmut, 100 km north-east of Donetsk. In the XVI-XVII centuries. fugitive peasants settled here. The name of the Popasna farm is probably due to the fact that the local steppes had rich pastures, which attracted livestock owners. The city was officially founded in 1878 as the Popasna station of the Donetsk Coal Railway. There was a main depot for 12 steam locomotives and small workshops. During the first five-year plans, a silicate brick plant, a steam mill, a glass factory, three schools, a club, a library, a carriage and locomotive depot, and a carriage repair plant were built. In 1938 Popasna was officially granted the status of a city, and in 1977 it became a regional center.

Місто Попасна - великий залізничний вузол в 30 км на схід від Бахмута, в 100 км на північний схід від Донецька. В XVI-XVII ст. тут оселялися селяни-втікачі. Назва хутора Попасна, ймовірно, пов'язана з тим, що тутешні степи мали багаті випаси, які залучали власників худоби.
