Lemberg: The capital of the Austrian crownland of Galicia. About 1259 the Ruthenian prince Daniel is said to have built it for his son Leo, in whose honor it was named Leopolis, whence the present name Lemberg and the Polish Lvov. In 1914 the city, with immense stores, was captured by the Russians who were forced to yield it later when defeated by the Teutonic armies.
