Iksha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iksha (Russian: Икша) is an urban-type settlement in Dmitrovsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, situated 45 kilometers (28 mi) north of Moscow along the Dmitrov highway and the Moscow Canal, and is a junction of the Savyolovo Railway. Population: 3,738 (2002 Census); 4,619 (1989 Census).
The settlement was founded during the construction of the railroad from Moscow to Dmitrov in 1889. It further developed due to the construction of the Moscow Canal in the 1930s. The main point of interest is a cascade of Moscow Canal locks on the Iksha Reservoir built in Socialist Classicism style.
