Name and history
[edit]The name literally means "New Myrhorod" or "new peace town".
Between 1752 and 1764, Novomyrhorod was the capital of New Serbia, a military frontier established by the Russian Empire that had an ethnic Romanian majority.
Since 1802 it was a town in Kherson Governorate of Russian Empire.
Since 1923 Novomyrhorod was the district center of Yelysavethradsky District, Ukrainian SSR.
In 1989 the population was 16 349 people.[5][4]
In 2013 population was 11 569 people.[6]
Until 18 July 2020, Novomyrhorod was the administrative center of Novomyrhorod Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Novomyrhorod Raion was merged into Novoukrainka Raion.[7][8]
