"L'viv researcher P.Siredzhuk in 1981 in one of articles
wrote, that the small town Nowe Selo (New Village) was renamed in
Burshtyn in 1628. According to a legend, the settlement has
received the name by influence of handicraftsmen and dealers
which was engaged basically in manufacturing of products from
amber ("byrshtyn") and their sale. However, in archives
there are data that in 1635 the name of city burgomaster was Ivan
Burshtyn. Modern city known by thermal power station."
