It is the administrative centre of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast (region).[3] Zaporizhzhia has a population of 710,052 as of 1 January 2022.
Zaporizhzhia is known for the historic island of Khortytsia; multiple power stations including Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (the largest nuclear power station in Europe), Zaporizhzhia thermal power station and Dnieper Hydroelectric Station and for being an important industrial centre.

Names and etymology
Renderings of the name include: Zaporizhzhia,[4] Zaporizhia, or Zaporizhzhya, pronounced UK: /ˌzæpɒˈrɪʒjə/, US: /ˌzɑːpəˈriːʒ(j)ə/, from Ukrainian: Запорі́жжя, IPA: [zɐpoˈr⁽ʲ⁾iʒːɐ] . Also Zaporozhye, US: /ˌzɑːpəˈroʊʒə/, from Russian: Запоро́жье, IPA: [zəpɐˈroʐjɪ]).
The name Zaporizhzhia literally refers to the position of the city located "beyond the rapids" – down-river or south of the Dnieper River rapids, formerly a major impediment to navigation and the site of important portages (in 1932, the rapids on the Dnieper river were flooded to become part of the reservoir of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station).[5]
Before it was changed in 1921, the city's name was Aleksandrovsk (Russian: Алекса́ндровск [ɐlʲɪˈksandrəfsk]) or Oleksandrivsk (Ukrainian: Олекса́ндрівськ [olekˈsɑnd⁽ʲ⁾r⁽ʲ⁾iu̯sʲk]) after the name of a fortress (Russian: Александровская крепость, romanized: Aleksandrovskaya krepost; Ukrainian: Олександрівська фортеця, romanized: Oleksandrivska fortetsia) that formed a part of the Dnieper Defence Line of the Russian Empire.
History
Geography
The city is located in south-eastern Ukraine. The Dnieper river splits the city in two; between them is Khortytsia island. The city covers 334 km2 (129 sq mi) at an elevation of 50 m (160 ft) above sea level.[6]
There are two streams around Khortytsia island; New and Old Dnieper. The New Dnieper is about 800 m (2,600 feet) wide while the Old Dnieper is about 200 m (660 feet) wide. The island has 12 km × 2 km (7.5 mi × 1.2 mi) sizes. There are also several small rivers in the city, which enter the Dnieper: Sukha and Mokra Moskovka , Kushuhum , and Verkhnia Khortytsia .
The flora of Khortytsia island is unique and diverse due to the dry steppe air and a large freshwater basin, which cleans the air polluted by industry. Khortytsia Island is a national park. The island surface is cut by large ravines ("balka"), hiking routes and historical monuments. The island is a very popular recreational area for both kids and adults. There are a large number of sanatoriums, resorts and health centres. There are also sandy beaches with swimming access. [7]

The 12 km (7.5 mi) x 2 km (1.2 mi) island Khortytsia is located in the geographical centre of the city. The city embraces the island by banks of the New and Old Dnieper streams. Two concrete bridges connect the Island to the city. They have been designed and constructed by the engineer Boris N. Preobrazhensky in 1952. Two level bridges have height about 54 meters. High level of the bridges is intended for rail and bottom – for cars and pedestrians.
The historical and cultural museum "Zaporizka Sich" is placed on the northern rocky part of the island Khotritsa. The museum is the reconstructed stronghold of the Zaporizhzhian Cossacks. All features of the military cossack's camp life and their lifestyle are presented in the museum.
The smaller islands are located between the dam and the island Khortytsia. Each of these islands has its own legend. On one of them named Durnya Scala ("Rock of the Fool") Tzar Peter the Great punished the Cossacks by flogging for their betrayal on the side of Charles XII of Sweden during the Great Northern War between Russia and Sweden.
Another small island, named Stolb ("Pillar"), has a geological feature, which looks like a large bowl in granite slabs, its diameter equals 1.4 m (4.6 ft), the depth 1 m (3.3 ft). This bowl is named Cossack's bowl. People say that in summer days under the hot sun, it is easy to boil water in this "bowl" and the Cossacks used it for cooking galushki (boiled dough in a spicy broth).[44]
The panoramic view of the DnieproHES from Khortytsia island is very impressive. The straight and long Sobornyi avenue (10 km or 6.2 miles) ends in the SotsGorod near the Dam, which built up of the constructivist architecture of the 20th century.
