History

Until 18 July 2020, Uhroidy belonged to Krasnopillia Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Sumy Oblast to five. The area of Krasnopillia Raion was merged into Sumy Raion.[2] [3]

Until 26 January 2024, Uhroidy was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Uhroidy became a rural settlement.[4]

Economy

Transportation

The settlement has road access to Krasnopillia which is further connected with Sumy and with Kharkiv via Bohodukhiv.
