 Gammalsvenskby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verbivka (Swedish: Gammalsvenskby, "Old Swedish Village") is a part of the village Zmijevka in Khersons'ka oblast', Ukraine which has a Swedish cultural heritage.
The population of Gammalsvenskby traces its origins back to Hiiumaa (Dagö) in present-day Estonia, once a part of the Realm of Sweden.
