Kulykiv (Ukrainian: Куликів; Polish: Kulików) is a rural settlement in Lviv Raion, Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of the city of Lviv. Kulykiv hosts the administration of Kulykiv settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] A Ukrainian star actor of Taras Bulba and other films and stage performances in Kyiv Ivan Franko theater Bohdan Stupka was born there. Population: 4,092 (2022 estimate).[2]

History

[edit]

Until 18 July 2020, Kulykiv belonged to Zhovkva Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Zhovkva Raion was merged into Lviv Raion.[3][4]

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