List of cities in Sumy Oblast explained
There are 15 populated places in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто|misto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.[1] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.[2] [3] [4] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence, the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Sumy, with a population of 293,141 people, while the least populous city was Druzhba, with a population of 5,726 people.[5]
From independence in 1991 until 2020, seven cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining eight cities were located amongst 17 raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[6] [7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into five new, expanded raions.[8] The five raions that make up the oblast are Konotop, Okhtyrka, Romny, Shostka, and Sumy.[9]
