Geocache Description:


K-J on aardesari, mis on peidetud Kohtla-Järve linnaosade tutvustamseks.

Kohtla-Järve sai linnaõigused 15.juunil 1946.aastal. Põhiosa linnast asetseb endiste Kohtla ja Järve mõisa maadel, millest tuleneb ka linna nimi. Kohtla-Järve linnaosad paiknevad laialipaisatuna mööda Ida-Viru maakonda ühel ja teisel pool Jõhvi linna. Hetkel kuuluvad Kohtla –Järve linna koosseisu: Ahtme, Järve, Kukruse, Oru, Sompa ning Viivikonna koos Sirgalaga.

K-J Sirgala

Sirgala on endine küla ja praegune asum Kohtla-Järve linnaosa Viivikonna haldusalas.

Sirgala kasvas ja arenes koos kaevandusega, selle sulgemisel hääbus ka elu.Enamus 1960-ndatel aastatel ehitatud hoonetest on tänu kaevanduse sulgemisele ja töökohtade kadumisele hüljatud.

1987.aastal elas Sirgalas 850 inimest, kellest tänaseks on paigale jäänud vaid üksikud.

 

K-J Sirgala


The series of K-J caches are hidden for introducing Kohtla-Järve´s city districts.
Kohtla-Järve, as the main settlement in the mining area, received city status on 15 June 1946. Kohtla-Järve is unusual among municipalities of Estonia due to having a discontiguous territory. The two main parts of the city, Järve (Kohtla-Järve proper) and Ahtme, both with populations around 20,000, are located about 10 km apart. Nowadays there are six districts in the city: Ahtme, Järve, Kukruse, Oru, Sompa and Viivikonna with Sirgala.
Sirgala
Sirgala is former village and nowadays settlement in Kohtla-Järve´s Viivikonna district. Sirgala grew and developed with the mine and life there vanished with it too. Most of the buildings from 1960-es are now abandoned and empty. In 1987 the population of Sirgala was 850, for now there are only some, who have stayed.
