Geography

Beryslav Raion is located in the central part of the Kherson Oblast on the right-bank of the Dnieper River and the Kakhovka Reservoir. Geographically, it lies in the lowland immediately before the Black Sea.

History

Beryslav Raion was first established on March 7, 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[2]

Administrative divisions

Beryslav Raion is divided in a way that follows the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government is also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions are subdivided into councils, which are the prime level of administrative division in the country.

Each of the raion's urban localities administer their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities are organized into councils, which also may contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.

Accordingly, Beryslav Raion is divided into:[2]

  • 1 city council—made up of the city of Beryslav (administrative center)
  • 1 settlement council—made up of the urban-type settlement of Kozatske
  • 29 village councils

Overall, the raion has a total of 43 populated localities, consisting of one city, one urban-type settlement, 34 villages, and seven rural settlements.[2]
