Slov'yansk: city council building
City council building in Slov'yansk, Ukraine.

Slov’yansk, city, eastern Ukraine. It lies at the confluence of the Kazenny Torets and Sukhyy Torets rivers. Founded in 1676 as Tor and renamed Slov’yansk in 1794, it is today the main centre of the northwestern part of the Donets Basin industrial area. The presence of saline and mud springs, rock salt, and coal has made Slov’yansk an unusual combination of health resort and industrial town. There is an important chemical industry, and manufactured products have included machinery, furniture, and pencils. Slov’yansk has a teacher-training institute. Pop. (2001) 124,829; (2005 est.) 122,049.
