## About

Derazhnia is a town on the Vovk River in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, western Ukraine. Its railway station helped it develop as a trading point, and its history includes a substantial Jewish community.

## Notes

French references give Polish Dzierażnia, while English references give Derażnia; both are retained with provenance rather than silently treating either as modern Ukrainian. Formal romanization variants are search aids and do not establish common usage in either language.
