Hlyboka
Hlyboka (Ukrainian: Глибока; German and Polish: Hliboka; Romanian: Adâncata) is a rural settlement in Chernivtsi Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, western Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Hlyboka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: 9,226 (2022 estimate).

History

Hlyboka is mentioned for the first time in 1438.

Before World War II, large parts of lands of Hlyboka were owned by Polish noble families: until 1892 by Prince Adam Sapieha, then by Bronislaw Skibniewski (1830–1904) and later by his son Aleksander Skibniewski (1868–1942).

Hlyboka received urban-type settlement status in 1956.

Until 18 July 2020, Hlyboka served as an administrative center of Hlyboka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Hlyboka Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion.

On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement in Ukraine, and Hlyboka became a rural settlement.
