 By 1852 there were two windmills in Orikhiv owned by Mennonites ("Kornelius Ediger" and "Kornelius Heinrichs") as well as a treadmill and oil press operated by "Aaron Wiens".In the 1860s a number of families moved from Schoenwiese of the Khortytsia Colony to Orikhiv.Among these was "Johann Heinrich (Ivan Andreievitch) Janzen", who built two large steam-powered flour mills and encouraged other Mennonite businessmen to follow his example.
