Horodnytsia (Ukrainian: Городниця) is a rural settlement on the Sluch river[1] in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. Population: 5,207 (2022 estimate)[2]
History
Horodnytsia was first mentioned in 1685, when it was a town. During Soviet times it served as a district centre. In 1926 the settlement had 2,700 inhabitants.[1] In 2001 the population was 5,604.
Until 26 January 2024, Horodnytsia was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Horodnytsia became a rural settlement.[3]
Economy
Historically, Horodnytsia hosted a porcelain manufacture and several sawmills.[1]
