Zolotonosha (Ukrainian: Золотоноша [zolotoˈnɔʃɐ]) is a city located in Cherkasy Oblast (region) in central Ukraine. Located at around 49°40′N 32°2′E / 49.667°N 32.033°E / 49.667; 32.033, the city serves as the administrative center of Zolotonosha Raion (district). It hosts the administration of Zolotonosha urban hromada, one of the amalgamated hromadas of Ukraine.[2] Population: 27,664 (2020 est.).[1]

Zolotonosha is located on the Zolotonoshka River, a tributary of the Dnipro river within 30 km (19 mi) of the oblast's administrative center, Cherkasy. The city is also located on the railroad line Bakhmach-Odessa, and on the autoroad Kyiv-Kremenchuk and Cherkasy-Shramivka.

History

Zolotonosha was first mentioned in written works around the year 1576. In 1635 Zolotonosha was granted the Magdeburg rights. Following the Ukrainian War of Independence (1917–1921), Zolotonosha became part of Ukrainian SSR, a republic of the Soviet Union. In 1939 the 2,087 members of the Jewish community comprised 11.4% of the town's total population. On September, 1941, 300 Jews were murdered in a mass execution. On 22 November 1941, in Strunkovka, just northwest of the town, more than 3,500 Jews were killed in another massacre. The city was liberated by the Red Army on September, 1943. When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, the city became part of Ukraine.

Until 18 July 2020, Zolotonosha was designated as a city of oblast significance and belonged to Zolotonosha Municipality but not to Zolotonosha Raion even though it was the center of the raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast to four, the city was merged into Zolotonosha Raion.[3][4]
