Pershotravensk, Zhytomyr Oblast
Pershotravensk (Ukrainian: Першотравенськ) is a rural settlement in Zviahel Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. Its population is 3,261 (2022 estimate).
History
The settlement arose in the late 19th century, under the name Tokarivka (Ukrainian: Токарівка). In 1910, a large protest took place at the porcelain factory in Tokarivka. Its name was changed to Pershotravensk in 1934.
Until 26 January 2024, Pershotravensk was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Pershotravensk became a rural settlement.
