Coordinates: 42°11′N, 20°24′E Krumë is the capital of the Has District. It is a pleasant small town located at the north-west foot of the Bjeshka e Krumes mountain (En: Kruma Highland, Mount of Kruma), from which comes a large source of underground water called Vrella with clean and cool water serving the domestic population's needs for fresh water. From this source at the very bottom of the mountain, starts the Kruma River with clear and fresh waters, which goes toward the west, and, collecting other tributaries and becoming stronger, curves slightly to the left like an arc and joins in the south the Drin river, now the artificial Lake of Fierza. On the east side of the town there is the Gajrep mountain (Albanian: Gajrepi), while forward, alongside the Kruma river and wider, initially on the right side and then on the both sides, are placed the fruitful plains and low mild hills which spread to the far mountains on the west

|  [edit] History
Kuçova has been an industrial city since the Italian influence in the early 30's. In the communist period the city was known as Stalin City and was a closed military district. The city was extensively developed in the 1950's and is of interest to students of communist architecture, although following the collapse of communism there has been much unauthorised building and modification to the original buildings. It's home of one of Albania's Military Aeronautical Base, although since 2005 the countries airforce has ceased flying the aged Mig fighters provided by the Soviet Union and China and has been reduced to rotary wing aircraft only
[edit] Economy
Kuçova is one of Albania's Cities known for its Oil Industry. Along with Patos and Ballsh. The Oil industry was originally developed by the Italians during the Zogist period, and much of the infrastructure is dated. Following the end of the communist period the town suffered a severe industrial decline, with the closure of many factories and the destruction of the towns power plan in the riots following the failure of the pyramid banks. Today there is some evidence of a recovery with a large number of micro-businesses operating from former state run factories, although unemployment remians high. There are also a number of foreign owned banks and a small number of ATMs. Like many towns in Albania many young people leave for Italy and Greece due to the lack of economic opportunties
[edit] Population
The small city has a population of around 30.000 citizens. It has 5 districts (Lagje in Albanian), Ll.Prifti, Ll.Shkurti, 11 Shkurti, T.Skendo, and 1 Maji. One of the largest parks in Kuçovë is called "Pishat". Like many other Albanian cities, Kuçova has a large amount of cafés and bars.
[edit] Education
There are only two high schools in the city, "Teknikum" and "Gjimnaz", and six 1st to 8th grade schools. Many high school graduates who want to pursue a higher education go to other Albanian cities or even outside the country.
