Kirovohrad Oblast, Administrative region in central Ukraine

Kirovohrad Oblast covers 24,600 square kilometers of land, featuring fertile agricultural fields, industrial centers, and a network of rivers through its territory.

The region became an administrative oblast on January 10, 1939, emerging from territories previously inhabited by Scythians and the East Slavic tribe of Ulichis.

The oblast preserves Ukrainian folk traditions through regional museums, festivals, and cultural institutions, particularly in its capital city Kropyvnytskyi.

The region maintains extensive transportation networks, including railways and highways, connecting its 21 administrative districts and facilitating commerce between major cities.

Dobrovelychkivka, located within Kirovohrad Oblast, marks the geographical center of Ukraine and contains significant archaeological discoveries from ancient settlements.
