Chornoholova (Ukrainian: Чорноголо́ва; Hungarian: Sóhát; Slovak: Černohlava) is a village in Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine. The village is primarily inhabited by the Lemko ethnic group.

History[edit]

The first mention of the village dates back to 1552. There are a few stories which claim to explain the village's name. One of them is about a rebel named Holovatyi who lived in a hut in the forest. His house was burned down by the army, and when people came to view his house, they saw a black burnt head on the ashes. The place was subsequently called Chornoholova (roughly translating to "black head"), and the village that appeared there was named after it.

Another tradition tells of a couple who ran into the forest because they could not get married. They made a campfire and fell asleep, but the fire spread and they were burned alive. Some travelers later stumbled upon the campgrounds, and saw two burnt heads.

Demographics[edit]

In 1989, the village had 1,581 residents.[2]

The linguistic makeup of the residents according to the 2001 census are as follows:
