Mizhhirya

Mizhhirya is an urban-type settlement in Zakarpattia, a region in western Ukraine nestled in mountainous terrain. It functions as the administrative center for the Mizhhirya Hromada, with public facilities and government buildings that serve the surrounding communities.

The settlement was first recorded in 1415 and remained under Hungarian feudal rule during medieval times. It stayed part of the Hungarian sphere of influence until the end of World War I in 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.

Visitors will find the main administrative offices and local services that support the community here. The area offers access to basic amenities and is easily navigable on foot.

The settlement underwent an administrative reclassification in 2024, transitioning from an urban to a rural classification. This change reflected new Ukrainian legislation that reshaped the administrative structure of many communities.
