# Kotzebue

Kotzebue (Inupiaq: Qikiqtaġruk) is a town of 3,200 people in Arctic Alaska. It's an important regional hub and a launching point for flights to remote Arctic wilderness reserves.

## Understand

Kotzebue is the primary hub for the Northwest Arctic, being the administrative center of both the Borough and Native Corporation governments. It is the most Americanized of the villages in the region (and indeed many residents of the smaller villages would bristle at calling Kotzebue a village at all) and is home to several restaurants and small hotels.

# Paraćin

It is a transportation hub that connects the capital Belgrade to the north, Nishi to the south, Zayechar to the east, and Krallevo to the west. Petrus, on the eastern outskirts of the city, was a Roman city. The villages of Cissevatz and Gonyamutnitsa near here are famous for tourist attractions.

## Understand

Paraćin is a city in the central Serbian province of Pomoravle. Paraćin is a transportation hub that extends to the capital Belgrade to the north, Zayechar to the east, Krallevo to the west, and Nishi to the south. The Moraba River flows far to the west and the Tsurnicha River, a tributary of the Moraba River, meanders through the middle of the city.
On the eastern outskirts of Paraćin, there was the Roman city of Petrus, but today there are few traces left. The Conical Petrus Hotel stands next to the Tsurnitsa River in the middle of the city, and there is an antique Holy Trinity Church nearby. There is a large bottle factory in the city, and the villages of Cisibatz and Gonyamutnitsa are considered tourist attractions on the eastern outskirts.

## History

There is a neolithic site in the town of drenovatz, about 15 km south of downtown Paraćin. An eighth - century B.C. Basarabi bowl was discovered with a painting of a chicken. The medieval village of petrus on the eastern outskirts of Paraćin was given by Emperor Dushan to the local ' abacus', bucoslav. Petrus was the center of the region of petrusy, one of the spiritual centers of medieval Serbia.
Petrus has 14 monasteries and churches, all built in the 14th century, along the ternicha and graza rivers. As of 2017, many monasteries are being restored. There are also plans to restore the city of Petrus and to establish a tourist complex that encompasses the city and the monastery.
Paraćin was first mentioned in 1375. That year, King Lazar of Serbia issued a charter granting the villages of Petrus to monasteries in the Petrus region. The name of the city seems to have been named after Parachin, a man who ferried people over the Tsurna River. The name of the city changed from Parachin to Parachin over the years.
With the construction and branching of the railway in the 19th century, and the passage of the most important road, the Chariglad Road, Paraćin became the main transport hub. Transportation was followed by various industries, so Paraćin became one of the largest industrial centers of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the most densely populated city at the end of the 19th century. From 1929 to 1941, Paraćin belonged to the Morababanovina of the Yugoslav kingdom.
