Sviatohorivka, Urban-type settlement in Dobropillia Raion, Ukraine.
Sviatohorivka is a small settlement in the Dobropillia urban hromada located in eastern Ukraine. The community functions as a local service center for the surrounding area with basic civic facilities.
The settlement received official recognition as an urban-type settlement in 1966 during Soviet administrative reorganization. The designation reflected broader Soviet policies for formalizing smaller communities during that era.
The settlement represents a transitional form between rural and urban environments, following specific Soviet-era population and infrastructure requirements for classification.
Walking through the settlement gives the best sense of local life and available services. Plan your visit during warmer months when roads and pathways are most accessible.
Recent legislative changes in January 2024 have initiated the abolition of urban-type settlement classifications across Ukraine, marking a new era for communities like this one.
