Velyka Oleksandrivka (Ukrainian: Велика Олександрівка; Russian: Большая Александровка, romanized: Bolshaya Aleksandrovka or Великая Александровка, Velikaya Aleksandrovka) is a rural settlement in Beryslav Raion, Kherson Oblast, southern Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Velyka Oleksandrivka settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The settlement is located on the left bank of the Inhulets. It has a population of 6,334 (2022 estimate).[2]

## History

[edit]

Until 18 July 2020, Velyka Oleksandrivka was the administrative center of Velyka Oleksandrivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Velyka Oleksandrivka Raion was merged into Beryslav Raion.[3][4]

Until 26 January 2024, Velyka Oleksandrivka was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Velyka Oleksandrivka became a rural settlement.[5]
