Vinkivtsi (Ukrainian: Віньківці) is a rural settlement in Khmelnytskyi Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, western Ukraine.[2] It hosts the administration of Vinkivtsi settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[3] The settlement's population was 6,937 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] Current population:
The settlement was first founded in 1493. In 1927, it was renamed Zatonsk (Ukrainian: Затонськ) in honor of Volodymyr Zatonsky, a member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.[4] It received the status of an urban-type settlement in 1957.[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Vinkivtsi was the administrative center of Vinkivtsi Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast to three. The area of Vinkivtsi Raion was merged into Khmelnytskyi Raion.[5] [6]
Until 26 January 2024, Vinkivtsi was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Vinkivtsi became a rural settlement.[7]
