Taromske, Historical settlement district in Dnipro, Ukraine
Taromske is a residential district in Dnipro that spreads across both urban and rural areas, with housing clusters distributed throughout the southern part of the municipality. The settlement shows a mix of building types, ranging from denser residential blocks to more scattered homes that gradually transition into the surrounding countryside.
The settlement began around 1800 as a Cossack community and gradually developed into an urban-type area over the following centuries. In 2001 it became part of Dnipro municipality, marking a shift toward greater administrative integration with the broader city.
The district maintains strong Ukrainian language traditions, with census data showing that 88 percent of residents communicate primarily in Ukrainian.
The district is located in the southern part of Dnipro and is accessible through local transportation networks. Visitors should note that the mix of urban and rural areas means some sections are easier to reach than others.
Residents historically held a special military status that freed them from serfdom but required service in the Russian army during the 1700s. This unusual arrangement shaped the area's identity and distinguishes it from other settlements in the region.
