Kyrylivka (Ukrainian: Кирилівка, IPA: [kɪˈrɪl⁽ʲ⁾iu̯kɐ]) is an urban-type settlement in Melitopol Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast,[2] southern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Kyrylivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. The town is located on the northern coast of the Sea of Azov and surrounded by both Utliuk Lyman and Molochnyi Lyman. Some of its areas are part of Pryazovskyi National Nature Park. Population: 3,416 (2022 estimate).[3]
History
The area was settled by Doukhobors in 1805. Kyrylo Kapustin became the first inhabitant and the village was named after him.[4]
In 1838 the population of Kyrylivka increased to 130 people. After some time, local Doukhobors were sent to the Caucasus, except those who would return to Russian Orthodox Church.
In 1926 sanatorium "Kyrylivka" was founded after the mud bath clinic opened. From there on, Kyrylivka began to develop as a resort destination.[5]
In 1968 the village received an urban-type settlement status.
In 2001 its population was 1,481 according to the census.
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kyrylivka was occupied by Russian forces after the capture of Melitopol.[6]
