List of cities in Volyn Oblast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are 11 populated places in Volyn Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто, romanizedmisto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.[2] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status, although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.[3][4][5] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence,[a] the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital, Lutsk, with a population of 208,816 people, while the least populous city was Berestechko, with 1,904 people.[6][7]

From independence in 1991 to 2020, four cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining seven cities were located amongst sixteen raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[8][9][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into four new, expanded raions.[3][10] The four raions that make up the oblast are Kamin-Kashyrskyi, Kovel, Lutsk, and Volodymyr.[11]
