History of Yalta.
The current territory of Yalta was inhabited since ancient times. Many centuries ago, at the turn of our era on the spot, where now is a district of Yalta - Chekhovo, were small settlements.Excavation testifies that in the early Middle Ages on a place of Yalta there was already a fairly large settlement, which in various sources was called differently — Dzhalita, Jalita, Kallita, Yalta. The first mention in written sources about Yalta concerns to XII century where it is called in Italian as Dzhalita, and also Yalta, and is marked on maps at that time. Scientists believe that the city's name comes from the Greek word "Yalos", which means coast. Perhaps the ancient Greeks traveling to the Black Sea coast catching sight of the bay formed by two capes, gave the name of this land. Maybe it was not so.
From 1475 to 1774 Yalta was in possession of the Turkish sultan. When in 1783 the Crimea was has been included in structure of Russia, Yalta represented only a small fishing village with a church. The village stood on the cape of John, where are now building of the marine station and Sailors' Club. The belltower of church of John Zlatousta on the Polykurovsky hill that raises over a pier was the first stone construction of Yalta. After belltower consecration in September, 1837 the highest instructions of the emperor on granting to Yalta of the status of a city have followed, and on March, 23rd, 1838 the senate has published the decree which said:« Having taken into consideration especial local position of southern coast of peninsula Taurian, fast increase there the population and perceptible between inhabitants industry distribution, we recognized for the blessing, for elimination of the inconveniences occurring from accumulation of affairs in offices of district Simferopol to found in Taurian province new district … from a part of present Simferopol district … to make new district under the name Yalta, having renamed a place of Yalta by a city … ». Yalta contributed just over 7 acres of land, which by today's standards is about a half of football field. In 1843, when it was approved the first plan of the city, Yalta, in addition to the seafront, has already had the street - Elizabethan (now Ignatieva), on which in 30 small houses lived 224 inhabitants. The first French Yalta guidebook has been published in French in Odessa in 1834. It said that in Yalta 30 households with a population of 224 people and were listed the basic sights: the Nikitsky botanical garden created in 1812, Magarach School of Viticulture and highway Simferopol Yalta. In the seventies of the XIX century in the central part of modern Yalta, between the mountain rivers Wuchang-Su and Derekoika began to appear private cottages, villas, small pensions. In 1875 on quay construction of the hugest for that time hotel "Russia" comes to an end. With opening in 1873 of the railway which has connected Sevastopol and Simferopol with the central part of Russia, Yalta and all Southern coast of Crimea become a fashionable resort of Russian aristocracy.
By 90th years the present central part of a city already has been completely built up by hotels, summer residences and boarding houses. Brockhaus and Efron's encyclopedic dictionary in 1904 characterized the Yalta: "Yalta - the county town of Tavria province, a port of Black Sea, resort on the southern coast of Crimea ... Inhabitants in 1902 numbered 19,572, besides during the year there are about 20,000 visitors, mostly during the second half of the year... here come for the sake of air, mountain walks, sea bathing, treatment by grapes". In the beginning of this century among Russian doctors began to form an opinion that Yalta is not inferior to the scenic beauty and healing properties resorts in Italy, Switzerland and other countries. Russian doctors who first propagated the Yalta and its environs were Botkin and Dmitriev. To improve the supply of water for resorts of Big Yalta in the upper reaches of the river Belbek in the mountains was built reservoir. Through the main mountain ridge of Crimean mountains laid long tunnel for more than 7 kilometers, in which Belbek water flow to the Yalta.
