Polohy Raion, Administrative district in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine
Polohy Raion is an administrative district in southern Zaporizhzhia Oblast featuring rolling terrain crossed by river networks. The landscape is shaped by extensive farming activities and organized around several urban centers.
The raion was established in 1923 and later underwent significant territorial changes during Ukraine's administrative reform in 2020. That reform substantially reduced the number of districts in the oblast.
Communities throughout the district maintain Ukrainian traditions through regional festivals that feature folk music and dance performances. These customs remain an important part of how people mark seasons and gather together.
The district is accessible via a network of railways and regional roads that connect it to neighboring areas. The best time to visit is during warmer months when road conditions are more favorable.
The district is divided into multiple hromadas including Fedorivka, Huliaipole, and Tokmak, each with its own local character and history. These smaller administrative units reveal the area's varied makeup.
