This region had been inhabited by the Taurians as early as the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. By the 5th cent. BC the Greek colony of Chersonese Taurica was esablished on the present-day site. In 1784 Catherine II ordered the fortress and naval port of Sevastopil to be built at the site of the Tatar village of Akhtiar [no publs. in LC data base]. By 1804 Sevastopil had become the home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. During the Crimean War (1853-56) the city was almot totally destroyed. In the 1870s its naval facilities were rebuilt and expanded. During World War I Sevastopil was occupied by the Germans (May-Nov. 1918), the Allied Powers (Nov. 1918 to April 1919), and Denikin's forces (June 1919 to Nov. 1920), before it was taken by the Red Army.
