## History

The city of Krasnohrad was founded as a [Bilevska fortress](/source/Bilevska_fortress) in 1731–1733,[4] as part of the [Ukrainian line](/source/Ukrainian_line) defence fortifications, which ran from the [Dnieper](/source/Dnieper) to the [Donets](/source/Donets). In 1784, the fortress received the name Konstantinograd (Kostiantynohrad) in honour of [Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia](/source/Grand_Duke_Konstantin_Pavlovich_of_Russia).[4] In 1797, it received city status. In 1922, Kostyantynohrad was renamed *Krasnohrad* during a "de-imperialization" drive carried out by the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union).[4][5]

It is located on the [Berestova River](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Berestova_River&action=edit&redlink=1) 101 kilometres (63 mi) to the south of the city of Kharkiv. In 2021, about 20,000 people lived in the city.[4]
