Novohrodivka (Ukrainian: Новогродівка, IPA: [no.woˈɦrɔ.d⁽ʲ⁾iu̯.kɐ]; Russian: Новогродовка, romanized: Novogrodovka) is a city in Pokrovsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It serves as the administrative center of Novohrodivka urban hromada. It is located 45 kilometres (28 mi) from Donetsk and seven kilometres (4.3 mi) from Selydove.[1] Population: 14,037 (2022 estimate);[2] 17,473 (2001).[1]
History
The settlement was founded in 1939 as Hrodivka with the construction of a coal mine.[1] The settlement was occupied by Nazi Germany from October 1941 to September 1943 during World War II.[1]
Novohrodivka received city status and its modern name in 1958.[1]
In 2020, Novohrodivka became part of Pokrovsk Raion and the administrative center of the newly formed Novohrodivka urban hromada.[1]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
The city has repeatedly come under Russian strikes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, causing damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties.[3][4][5] In August 2024, amidst recent Russian advances in the area near Novohrodivka, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration ordered the evacuation of 744 children and their families from the city.[6]
