Hlyboka (uk|Глибока; German and pl|Hliboka; ro|Adâncata) is a rural settlement in Chernivtsi Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, western Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Hlyboka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population:
Hlyboka is mentioned for the first time in 1438.
Before World War II, large parts of lands of Hlyboka were owned by Polish noble families: until 1892 by Prince Adam Sapieha, then by Bronislaw Skibniewski (1830–1904) and later by his son Aleksander Skibniewski (1868–1942).
Hlyboka received urban-type settlement status in 1956.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Hlyboka served as an administrative center of Hlyboka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Hlyboka Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion.[3] [4]
On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement in Ukraine, and Hlyboka became a rural settlement.[5]
In 2001, 84.64% of the 9,124 inhabitants spoke Ukrainian as their native language (7,723 people), while 12.16% spoke Romanian, or 1,109 people (11.72% called it Romanian, or 1069 people, and 0.44% called in Moldovan, or 40 people), and 2.97% spoke Russian, or 271 people.[6] In 1989, out of a population of mostly Ukrainian 9,352 inhabitants, 1,698 declared that they were ethnic Romanians (18.86%) and 183 declared that they were ethnic Moldovans (1.96%).[7] A large majority of the population with a Moldovan identity switched their declared census identities from Moldovan and Moldovan-speaking to Romanian and Romanian-speaking between the 1989 and 2001 censuses.[8]
According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, in the Hlyboka settlement community, which was created in 2020 and had a population of 18,897 according to the census, and whose capital was Hlyboka, 70.39% of the inhabitants spoke Ukrainian as their native language, or 13,301 people, while 27.48%, or 5,193 people, spoke Romanian (including 5,117 who called it Romanian, or 27.08%, and 76 called it Romanian, or 0.4%), and 1.91%, or 271 people, spoke Russian.[9]
