There are 11 populated places in Zakarpattia 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,[a] the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital, Uzhhorod, with a population of 117,317 people, while the least populous city was Perechyn, with 7,083 people.[6][7]
Location of cities in Zakarpattia Oblast.[1]
From independence in 1991 to 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 six cities were located amongst thirteen 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 six new, expanded raions.[3][10] The six raions that make up the oblast are Berehove, Khust, Mukachevo, Rakhiv, Tiachiv, and Uzhhorod.[11]
