Kherson Raion, Administrative district in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine
The raion encompasses 3,841 square kilometers of territory along the Dnieper River, including the regional capital city of Kherson and nine additional municipalities.
Established on July 19, 2020, during Ukraine's administrative reform, the raion merged parts of former Bilozerka Raion and Oleshky Raion with Kherson Municipality.
The district maintains ten separate hromadas, each with distinct local governance systems that reflect traditional Ukrainian administrative structures and community organization.
The region contains multiple transportation networks, including the Kherson International Airport, railway connections, and river ports along the Dnieper River.
The territory experienced significant changes in 2022, when Russian forces occupied the area from March to November, leading to substantial population movements.
