Novodarivka, Urban settlement in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.
Novodarivka is an urban-type settlement in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. It functions as a local administrative hub and residential area that serves the surrounding villages in the region.
The settlement was founded in the 1920s as part of Soviet administrative reforms to support local industry and agriculture. It retained its urban-type status for decades until this classification was abolished in recent years.
The settlement reflects the transformation of Ukrainian administrative structures, transitioning from Soviet-era classifications to modern governance systems within the Dovzhansk Hromada.
The settlement provides basic services and infrastructure for visitors and residents. The area is relatively flat and easy to navigate, with local roads connecting the main points of interest.
Novodarivka represents one of the last urban-type settlements in Ukraine before the October 2023 legislation abolished this administrative category nationwide.
