Novhorodske (Ukrainian: Новгородське, formerly until 1951 New York (Нью-Йорк, officially romanized Niu-York), is an urban settlement in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at 37.9 km NNE from the centre of Donetsk city. Novhorodske is administratively subordinated to Toretsk city, that is located about 10 km north of Novhorodske. Population: 10,064 (2020 est.)[1]
History
The settlement first appeared on maps in 1846 under its original name New York and was then situated in the Yekaterinoslav Governorate of the Russian Empire.[2] According to official data, in 1859 the village consisted of 13 households, 45 male residents, 40 female residents, and a factory.[2]
In 1951, by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the village was renamed Novhorodske.[2] A request for renaming the settlement back to New York has been submitted by the Civil–military administration of Donetsk Oblast and was approved by the Ukrainian parliament's Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning on 3 February 2021 (18 votes "for" and 1 "against").[3]
The War in Donbass, that started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties. On 8 November 2016 a civilian was killed by shelling.[4]
