Part
of the Bolshoy Fountain (Бальшой Фонтон) district.
Bolshoy
Fountain, meaning Big Fountain, got its name
when water was in short supply in Odessa. Drinking
water for Odessa at the time was acquired by
ground springs near the sea. Three of these
springs were so big they were labeled fountains:
- The
fountain near the center was smallest. "Small
Fountain"
- The
fountain, which is located where Arcadia is
today, was in the middle. "Middle Fountain"
- And
the fountain at to today's "Bolshoy Fountain"
was the biggest.
Each area was named for the strength of their
fountains, but only the name "Bolshoy
Fountain" has survived today.
