Statistical information

Nepolokivtsi

Nepolokiwzi ( Ukrainian Неполоківці ; Russian Неполоковцы Nepolokowzy , German Nepolokoutz , Romanian Nepolocăuţi or Grigore Ghica Vodă ) is an urban-type settlement in the Ukrainian Oblast of Chernivtsi . It is located on the left bank of the Prut , about 24 kilometers northwest of Chernivtsi in northern Bukovina .

Administratively, the village of Pyadykivtsi ( П'ядиківці ) also belongs to the settlement municipality .

history

The settlement was established in the 15th century (first documented mention in 1480) and belonged to the Principality of Moldova until 1776 . After that she was part of Austria in the crown land of Bukovina and belonged to the judicial district of Kotzman . In 1866, the place received a rail connection on the Lemberg – Chernivtsi line of the Lemberg – Chernivtsi – Jassy railway , on July 7, 1898, the New Bukowina Local Railway Company opened the Nepolokoutz – Wiznitz local railway , which ended here and to the southwest across the Prut led to today's Wyschnyzja. The economic development of the place was greatly favored by this, a small station settlement developed around the station. During this time, Jews, Romanian and German residents also settled in the village inhabited by Ukrainians.

After the end of the First World War in 1918, the place came to Romania (in the Cernăuţi district ), where it became a border town and station with Poland . In the interwar period it was also renamed Grigore Ghica Vodă in honor of the Moldovan prince Grigore III Ghica . In the course of the annexation of northern Bukovina on June 28, 1940, the village became part of the Soviet Union (between 1941–1944 it was again part of Romania) and has been part of Ukraine since 1991.

In 1968 it was elevated to an urban-type settlement. The bridge on the line of the former local railway, which was destroyed in the war, was not rebuilt in the same place, but only behind the Prut in a north-westerly direction in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast .
