Kamin-Kashyrskyi Raion, Administrative district in Volyn Oblast, Ukraine
Kamin-Kashyrskyi Raion is an administrative district in western Ukraine containing roughly 64 settlements and its administrative center of the same name. The territory spreads across numerous small villages and communities organized through local governance structures.
The district was established in 1940 and underwent substantial territorial changes during Ukraine's 2020 administrative reform. This reorganization reduced the number of raions across the broader region.
The region is shaped by Ukrainians, Poles, and Belarusians who have maintained their traditions through many political changes. This cultural diversity influences how communities look and live today.
The district is divided into five local governance areas serving its communities across the territory. Visitors should know that settlements are spread out with considerable space between them, so planning routes carefully is helpful.
The name comes from the Ukrainian word for stone and references the Sangushki-Kosherskyi princes who ruled the territory from their family estate. This noble heritage remains part of the region's identity to this day.
