Synelnykove (Ukrainian: Синельникове, IPA: [sɪˈnɛlʲnɪkowe]) is a city and municipality in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is the largest city in the south-eastern part of the region. It serves as the administrative center of Synelnykove Raion within the oblast. It is named after the Russian governor Ivan Sinelnikov. Population: 28,651 (2022 estimate).[1]
History
It was created as a settlement in Yekaterinoslav Governorate in the 19th century on a private territory that was given as a gift to the Russian governor Ivan Sinelnikov by the Russian Imperial government.
During World War II, since October 1941 until September 1943 it was occupied by German troops.
Since 1979 and until 18 July 2020, Synelnykove was incorporated as a city of oblast significance and served as the administrative center of Synelnykove Raion though it did not belong to the raion. In July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven, the city of Synelnykove was merged into Synelnykove Raion.[2][3][4]
