Kuchurhan

Kuchurhan (Kuchurgan; Ukrainian or Russian: Кучурган) is a village in the Rozdilnianskyi Raion of the Odessa Oblast in Ukraine. It is located along the Kuchurhan River at the north end of the Kuchurhan Reservoir along the border with Transnistria in Moldova. It is the site of highway, rail, and power line crossings between Ukraine and Moldova.

The village was established in 1808 as Straßburg by Roman Catholic German immigrants to the Kutschurgan Valley, then part of the Russian Empire. It received its present name in 1944 after the remaining German residents were driven from the area by the advancing Soviet army.
