Nyzhankovychi (Ukrainian: Нижанковичі, Polish: Niżankowice) is a rural settlement in Sambir Raion of Lviv Oblast in Ukraine. It is located on the left bank of the Wiar, a right tributary of the San in the drainage basin of the Vistula, directly at the border with Poland. Nyzhankovychi belongs to Dobromyl urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2] Population: 1,725 (2022 estimate).[1]
Until 18 July 2020, Nyzhankovychi belonged to Staryi Sambir Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Staryi Sambir Raion was merged into Sambir Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Nyzhankovychi was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Nyzhankovychi became a rural settlement.[5]
