Kivertsi

Kivertsi (Ukrainian: Ківерці, IPA: [ˈkiwertsi] ⓘ; Polish: Kiwerce) is a city in Volyn Oblast, in north-western Ukraine.

Historians associate the name Kivertsi with the name of an ancient tribe called Tivertsi that lived on the banks of the Dniester River at the mouth of the Danube.

In the 1870-1873 between the cities of Rivne and Kovel a railway track was laid, and 7 km from the village Kivertsi (now Prylutske) was built a station with the same name.

In 1890, the War Department of the Russian Empire paved the railroad through Kivertsi to Lutsk, and then – to Lviv and Radehov, a border state with Austria-Hungary at that time.

In July 1920 the city was occupied by the Red Army, but according to the Treaty of Riga of 1921 the settlement became a part of Poland, within which it was administratively located in the Wołyń Voivodeship.
