The river Narew [ˈnarɛf] (Belarusian:Нараў, Lithuanian:Naura), in western Belarus and north-eastern Poland, is a tributary of the Vistula river. The portion of the river between Zegrze Lake, where it is joined by the Bug, and the Vistula is sometimes called Narwio-Bug, Narwo-Bug or Bugo-Narew.
[edit] EtymologyThe name of the river comes from a Proto-Indo-European root *nr primarily associated with water (compare with Narva, Neretva, Neris, Ner and Nur).[1] [edit] GeographyThe Narew flows through the geographical region of Europe known as the Wysoczyzny Podlasko – Bialoruskie (English: Podlasie and Belarus Plateau) located within the Podlaskie Voivodeship and Masovian Voivodeship of Poland and the Hrodna Voblast of Belarus.
The Narew is the fifth longest Polish river. [edit] Cities and towns
[edit] Tributaries[edit] Other notable places[edit] HistoryOn August 23, 1939, the Soviet Union and Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, agreeing to divide Poland along the Narew, Vistula (Wisła), and San rivers. On September 6, 1939, Polish military forces attempted to use the Narew as a defense line against German attack during the German Invasion of Poland. This was abandoned the next day in favor of the Bug as German forces had already penetrated the defenses. On September 17, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland. By 28 September, the Soviet Army had reached the line of the rivers Narew, Western Bug, Vistula and San - completing the division of Poland as negotiated in advance. [edit] References
