Verkhniachka (Ukrainian: Верхнячка), previously named Stari Korchaky (Ukrainian: Старі Корчаки), is a rural settlement in Uman Raion, Cherkasy Oblast, central Ukraine. It belongs to Khrystynivka urban hromada with the administration in the town of Khrystynivka, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 3,447 (2022 estimate).[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Verkhniachka belonged to Khrystynivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast to four. The area of Khrystynivka Raion was merged into Uman Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Verkhniachka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Verkhniachka became a rural settlement.[5]
