Yavoriv ((ウクライナ語:Яворів); (ポーランド語:Jaworów)) is a city located in Lviv Oblast (region) of western Ukraine near the Polish border. It is the administrative center of Yavoriv Raion and rests approximately west of the oblast capital, Lviv. Population: . Not far from it is the watering-place of Shklo with sulfur springs. The town was first mentioned in written documents in 1376, when it belonged to the Duke of Opava and Racibórz, Wacław. It received Magdeburg rights in 1569, from King Sigismund II Augustus. It was a favorite residence of king John III Sobieski, who there received the congratulations from the Pope on his success against the Turks at Vienna (1683). Until the Partitions of Poland, Jaworów, was an important center of commerce, located along main merchant route from Jarosław to Lwów. In 1772 it was annexed by the Habsburg Empire, as part of Austrian Galicia, where it remained until late 1918. In Galicia, it was the seat of a county, with the population of almost 11,000 (Poles, Jews, Ukrainians and Czechs). In the immediate post-World War One period, the area of Jaworów witnessed Polish - Ukrainian fighting (see Polish-Ukrainian War). Here in 1919, authorities of the West Ukrainian People's Republic murdered 17 Polish prisoners, whom they accused of plotting against the government. After the war, the town became part of the Second Polish Republic, where it remained until the Invasion of Poland in September of 1939. Among notable people born here are Władysław Langner (General of the Polish Army), Stanisław Nowakowski (president of the Polish Scouting and Guiding Association), and mathematician Wawrzyniec Zmurko. ==Gallery== File:15 Lvivska Street, Yavoriv (03).jpg|Lvivska Street in Yavoriv File:Saints Peter and Paul church, Yavoriv (02).jpg|Saints Peter and Paul church File:Народний дім Яворів.JPG|People's House in Yavoriv 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yavoriv」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
