 Rostov-on-Don - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Don River that the city is named for is a major shipping lane connecting southwestern Russia with regions to the north, and Rostov-on-Don is an important river port in both passenger-oriented and industrial shipping.
By 1928, the regional government was moved from the old Cossack capital Novocherkassk to Rostov, which also engulfed the nearby Armenian town of Nakhichevan-on-Don.
As Azov gradually declined, a settlement near the new fortress superseded it in importance as a chief commercial centre of the region.
