Mizhhirya

Located at an elevation of 437 meters, Mizhhirya extends across 4.58 square kilometers within the Zakarpattia region of western Ukraine.

First documented in 1415, Mizhhirya belonged to Hungarian feudal lords and remained part of the Kingdom of Hungary from the 11th century until 1918.

The settlement changed names through different periods, from Ökörmező under Hungarian rule to Volove during Czechoslovak administration, before receiving its current name in 1953.

The settlement maintains administrative buildings, serving as a center for the Mizhhirya Hromada with a population of approximately 9,432 residents as of 2022.

Mizhhirya transitioned from an urban-type settlement designation held since 1947 to a rural settlement classification in January 2024 under new Ukrainian legislation.
