Geography
editYarmolyntsi Raion was located in the central part of Khmelnytskyi Oblast, corresponding to the modern-day boundaries of the Podolia historical region. Its total area constituted 898 square kilometres (347 sq mi) and about 4.5 percent of the oblast's area.[6]
History
editYarmolyntsi Raion was first established on March 7, 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[2]
Subdivisions
editAt the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of two hromadas:[7]
- Solobkivtsi rural hromada with the administration in selo of Solobkivtsi;
- Yarmolyntsi settlement hromada with the administration in Yarmolyntsi.
Yarmolyntsi Raion was divided in a way that followed the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government was also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.
Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.
Accordingly, the Yarmolyntsi Raion was divided into:[2]
- 1 settlement council—made up of the urban-type settlement of Yarmolyntsi (administrative center)
- 29 village councils
Overall, the raion had a total of 60 populated localities, consisting of one urban-type settlement, and 59 villages.[2]
