There are nine populated places in Mykolaiv Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто, romanized: misto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.[2] 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.[3][4][5] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence,[lower-alpha 1] the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Mykolaiv, with a population of 514,136 people, while the least populous city was Bashtanka, with a population of 13,146 people.[6][7]
From independence in 1991 until 2020, five cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining four cities were located in 19 raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.[8][9][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into four new, expanded raions.[3][10] The four raions that make up the oblast are Bashtanka, Mykolaiv, Pervomaisk, and Voznesensk.[11]
