Ovidiopol (Ukrainian: Ові́діополь; Russian: Овидиополь; Turkish: Hacıdere) is a coastal rural settlement in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine. It is located on the eastern bank of Dniester Estuary directly across Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and 40 km (25 mi) west of Odesa.[1] Ovidiopol hosts the administration of Ovidiopol settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2] Population: 11,407 (2022 estimate).[3]
History
The place is first mentioned as early as 17th century.
The Adzhider (a Russian adaptation) fortress was built sometime around 1793 (end of 1792)
The noble Cossack family of Skarzhinsky had real estate investments in Ovidiopol during this time.[7]
The town was named in 1795 after
With the establishment of the fortress, around it appeared a settlement that in 1795 accounted for 266 people and was part of Tiraspol okrug (district) in Voznesensk Namestnichestvo (vice-royalty).[5] Ovidiopol was granted status of a supernumerary town ("zashtatny gorod").[8] In December of 1796 Voznesensk Namestnichestvo was liquidated and the territory became part of Novorossiya Governorate.[5][1] In the beginning of 19th century Novorossiya Governorate was liquidated and Ovidiopol existed with Kherson Governorate until the end of World War I and the Russian Civil War.[5][1] In 1920-1925 Ovidiopol was in Odesa Governorate.[5][1]
Until 18 July 2020, Ovidiopol was the administrative center of Ovidiopol Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Ovidiopol Raion was split between Odesa and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Raions, with Ovidiopol being transferred to Odesa Raion.[9][10]
Until 26 January 2024, Ovidiopol was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Ovidiopol became a rural settlement.[11]
