Uzhgorod - administration center Transcarpathian region. It is located in the foothills of the Carpathians and is located on the banks of the Uzh River (see the map of the Uzhgorod region).
Archaeological finds indicate that the first people settled these lands during the early Paleolithic period, which is more than 100 thousand years BC.
Uzhgorod is one of the oldest settlements. It has a rich historical past that spans over 1100 years. The Hungarian chronicles indicate that the creation of Uzhhorod took place sometime in 872. Tribes first settled here before the 9th century. Then Uzhhorod was called Ungvar. The population settled down, and the settlement grew into a mighty fortress.
In the 9th century, the fortified castle town was transformed into a protected city-settlement, over time, it became the center of the Slavic principality. It was headed by Prince Laborets. Its borders were next to the Principality of the Great Moravian Principality and the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
Chronicles of the 12th century mention that at the end of the 9th century, the Hungarian tribes discovered the town and the castle. Having a good army, they took possession of the city. Some even adhere to the version that the toponym "Hungary" (Hungary) originates from the name of Uzhgorod - Ungvar. In 1241, it was destroyed by fires, fired by the Tatars of Batu.
Another city (Unguyvar) grew up in that place. It happened in 1248. Another fortification was erected here and a church next to it.
When the Counts Drugets came to power, they contributed to the development of the city as a trade and economic center. Then they carried out the reconstruction of the castle building, built new temples and cellars for wine. Since those times, even the “Seal of the city of Uzhgorod. 1675". The seal has an image of the coat of arms. On it we see a shield with two vines, and on them are three leaves and two bunches of grapes. This image testifies to the main occupation of the townspeople. 
Uzhgorod of the 18th century is known for its magnificent fairs. Merchants from nearby territories and countries came here. It was during this period that many new wine cellars were built. A little later, the poor began to populate the left bank of Uzhgorod.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the economic upsurge of the region began. The territories of the settlement expanded, factories were built, new residents settled, and their own rulers of the city appeared. At the end of the century, a woodworking shop began to function and the railway opened.
It is difficult to underestimate the destructive power of the First World War, which undermined the cultural, economic and other spheres of life of the inhabitants. Having not entered the rut of life after the previous war, the Second World War became a second blow.
At present (since 1991) Uzhgorod is the least populated city among the current regional centers of Ukraine.
