Nova Ushytsia Raion (Ukrainian: Новоушицький район, Novoushyts'kyi raion) was one of the 20 administrative raions (a district) of Khmelnytskyi Oblast in western Ukraine. Its administrative center was located in the urban-type settlement of Nova Ushytsia. Its population was 36,457 in the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast to three. The area of Nova Ushytsia Raion was merged into Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion.[3][4] The last estimate of the raion population was 26,983 (2020 est.)[5]
Nova Ushytsia Raion was located in the south-central part of Khmelnytskyi Oblast, corresponding to the modern-day boundaries of the Volhynia and Podolia historical regions. Its total area constituted 853 square kilometres (329 sq mi) and about 3.9 percent of the oblast's area.[6]
History
Nova Ushytsia Raion was first established on March 7, 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[2][7]
