Chortkiv (Ukrainian: Чортків, IPA: [tʃortˈkiu̯] ⓘ; Polish: Czortków; Yiddish: טשארטקאוו, romanized: Tshortkov) is a city in Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast, western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Chortkiv Raion, housing the district's local administration buildings. Chortkiv hosts the administration of Chortkiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[3] Population: 28,279 (2022 estimate).[4]

Key Information

Chortkiv is located in the northern part of the historic region of Galician Podolia on the banks of the Seret River.[1][5]

In the past Chortkiv was the home of many Hasidic Jews; it was a notable shtetl and had a significant number of Jews residing there prior to the Holocaust.[6] Today, Chortkiv is a regional commercial and small-scale manufacturing center.[5] Among its architectural monuments is a fortress built in the 16th and 17th centuries[7] as well as historic wooden churches of the 17th and 18th centuries.[8]

History

[edit]
Chortkiv Castle

The first historical mention of Chortkiv dates to 1522,[1] when Polish King Sigismund I the Old granted an ownership order for Jerzy Czortkowski over the town and allowed him to name it after himself—Czortków.[8] The small community, numbering at 50 families, were almost all massacred during the Khmelnytsky Uprising of 1648–9. Jewish leadership opposed the resettlement of Jews in Chortkiv until 1705.[9] During that time, the town was also granted Magdeburg rights.[5] However, Chortkiv would later decline in the second half of the 17th century during Ottoman Expansion of central Europe. The town was taken over by Ottoman Empire,[5] whose rule lasted 27 years. It was part of the short-lived Turkish Podolia Eyalet, which lasted from 1672 to 1699. During this period, it was nahiya centre in Yazlofça sanjak as Çortkuv (Spelled as Chortkoov in Turkish).[10] After First Partition of Poland Chortkiv came under Austro-Hungarian rule which lasted from 1772 to 1918, during the time of which it was the center of the Chortkiv Bezirk except brief Russian rule between 1809 and 1815 as part of Tarnopol Governorate. On June 8, 1919 the Ukrainian Galician Army broke for couple months through the Polish front at Chortkiv and began the Chortkiv offensive.[5] Soon afterwards, the town was seized by the Poles. It was ceded to sovereign Poland in the Peace Treaty of Riga between Poland, Soviet Russia (acting also on behalf of Soviet Belarus) and Soviet Ukraine, and remained part of the Tarnopol Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic until the Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939.

In 1931, the town had 19,000 inhabitants, 46.4 percent of whom were Polish Roman Catholics, 30 percent of whom were Ukrainian and Polish Jews, and 22.8 percent of whom were Ukrainian Greek Catholics.[citation needed]

Chortkiv was an important garrison of the Polish Border Defence Corps Brigade "Podole", whose commandant from 1935 to 1938 was General Stefan Rowecki. Furthermore, it was home to the 36th Reserve Infantry Division.

The town was annexed by the Soviet Union from September 17, 1939 until June 1941. Its Polish inhabitants, particularly students of the local high school, organized a failed uprising in January 1940,[11] which would serve as the first Polish uprising of World War II. In the last days of June 1941, following the German invasion of the USSR, the Soviets executed an estimated 100 to 200 prisoners held in the local prison. The remaining prisoners were evacuated further east, either by train or on foot, while hundreds died due to the inhumane conditions of transport or at the hands of guards.[12]

From 1941-1944 Chortkiv was annexed to Nazi Germany. The Jewish residents were persecuted and deported as part of the Holocaust. When the Nazis arrived, they proceeded to execute many of the local Jews, including the family of Charles Schumer, American Senate Majority Leader. The surviving Polish residents of the town were transferred to the Recovered Territories in the immediate postwar period (see Polish population transfers (1944–1946)). After the defeat of the Nazis by the Red Army in 1944, the town returned to Soviet control until in 1991 it became part of independent Ukraine.

Due to heavy destruction of Ternopil, in 1944 Chortkiv served as a regional seat.[13]

In January 1989 the population was 26 681 people.[14][1]

In January 2013 the population was 29 640 people.[15]

In 2019, at the 40-meter height of the tower of the Saint Stanislaus church in Chortkiv, archaeologist, researcher of fortifications and antiquities Volodymyr Dobrianskyi discovered a detonator of a shrapnel projectile, according to its flight trajectory determined that the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th cannon regiments (64 guns) under the command of Ataman Kirill Karas during the Chortkiv offensive (June 7–28, 1919) were stationed in the woods west of the village of Shmankivtsi in the Chortkiv district.[16]

Until 18 July 2020, Chortkiv was designated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to Chortkiv Raion even though it was the center of the raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three, the city was merged into Chortkiv Raion.[17][18]

The former Chortkiv Air Base is located nearby.

Chortkiv is a city in Ternopil Oblast, western Ukraine, functioning as the administrative center of Chortkiv Raion and Chortkiv urban territorial community. The city has a population of approximately 28,000 inhabitants and serves as a regional commercial hub. First mentioned in historical records in 1522 under Polish King Sigismund I, Chortkiv developed as a fortified settlement in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, featuring landmarks like its castle and churches that attest to its layered history of Ukrainian, Polish, and Jewish influences. In the early 20th century, prior to World War II, its demographics reflected this diversity, with Ukrainians comprising about 23 percent, Poles 46 percent, and Jews 30 percent of the roughly 19,000 residents in 1931. Today, it remains a center for local governance, culture, and community initiatives, including social housing for internally displaced persons amid ongoing national conflicts.

History

Origins and Medieval Period

The earliest verifiable historical reference to the settlement now known as Chortkiv appears in 1427, in a document of submission to King of , signed by local nobleman Ivan Odrowąż of Chortków, indicating the existence of a village called Chortkovytsi in the Podolian . This mention aligns with the broader incorporation of Podolian lands into the Polish Kingdom after Władysław's campaigns against the Teutonic Knights and Lithuanian rivals, which stabilized Polish authority over Ruthenian territories by the early . The village likely originated as a modest Slavic agrarian outpost amid forested steppes, vulnerable to raids from nomadic groups like the , though no prior archaeological or documentary evidence of pre-15th-century habitation has been definitively linked to the site. By the early , the settlement evolved into a under Polish royal privilege. In 1522, King issued a grant conferring ownership and rights to nobleman Jerzy Czortkowski, enabling , trade fairs, and defensive fortifications to counter ongoing border threats. This formal founding marked Chortkiv's transition from a peripheral village to a chartered urban center within the Polish Crown's southeastern palatinates, reflecting the kingdom's of populating and securing its exposed eastern marches through noble incentives and legal autonomies. During the late medieval period, the town's growth remained constrained by its frontier location, with population estimates under 1,000 and economy centered on agriculture, milling, and limited commerce, as evidenced by sparse contemporary land registers. No major architectural remnants from this era survive intact, though the site's defensibility—positioned on the Seret River amid rolling terrain—facilitated early works that preceded later stone defenses. Historical records from the period emphasize feudal obligations to Polish magnates rather than independent development, underscoring Chortkiv's role as a minor nodal point in the medieval Polish-Ruthenian borderlands rather than a regional hub.

Polish-Lithuanian and Early Modern Era

Chortkiv was formally established as a town in 1522 when King of granted it , bestowing urban privileges including self-governance and market operations to its owner, Jerzy Czortkowski. Czortkowski constructed a wooden that year to fortify the settlement against regional threats, marking the town's integration into the Polish Crown's administrative structure in the . By the early , the town supported a weekly market and two annual fairs, reflecting modest economic activity centered on and trade in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1610, Stanisław Golski, of and of , initiated construction of a stone castle on the site of the wooden fortress, enhancing defenses amid escalating Ottoman and Tatar incursions. The structure served as a key stronghold during the mid-17th-century upheavals, including the ; in 1649, Cossack forces under captured Chortkiv, disrupting Polish control in the region. Further turmoil ensued in 1655 during the Russo-Polish War (Deluge), when the castle withstood a by combined Cossack-Muscovite armies before falling; defender Paweł Potocki was imprisoned for 13 years following the capitulation. The town experienced a royal visit in 1663 by King John II Casimir during his campaign against Muscovy, where he attended a liturgy, underscoring Chortkiv's strategic position en route to . Subsequent Ottoman conquest of in 1672 via the Treaty of Buczacz placed Chortkiv under Turkish suzerainty until the 1699 restored it to Polish rule, though the castle became a sub-basha's residence during the interval. Throughout the late Commonwealth period, Chortkiv remained a private magnate town, with fortifications periodically rebuilt after raids, maintaining its role as a defensive outpost until the in 1772 transferred it to Habsburg .

Habsburg Austrian Rule

Following the on 5 August 1772, Chortkiv was annexed by the and incorporated into the newly formed as part of the province's eastern districts. The town initially served as the seat of the Chortkiv district (Bezirk Czortków) within the Tarnopol circle, functioning as an administrative hub for local governance, taxation, and judicial matters under imperial oversight from Lemberg (). Austrian reforms emphasized centralization, with German as the until the 1867 Austro-Hungarian Compromise, after which Polish gained prominence in western Galicia while Ruthenian (Ukrainian) speakers in the east, including Chortkiv's predominantly Ukrainian rural , pushed for linguistic recognition amid rising national consciousness. Under Habsburg rule, Chortkiv transitioned from a fortified Polish-era outpost to a modest regional center, bolstered by the abolition of serfdom in 1848, which freed peasants from feudal obligations and spurred agricultural productivity in the fertile Podolian black-earth soils surrounding the town. The economy focused on grain cultivation, livestock, and small-scale trade, with Jewish merchants dominating commerce; by the late 19th century, Jews comprised about half the urban population, establishing Chortkiv as a Hasidic stronghold under the influential Chortkover dynasty founded by Rabbi Dovid Moshe Friedman in 1817. Infrastructure advanced with the construction of a railway station connecting to the Stanyslaviv-Lviv line by 1896, facilitating export of agricultural goods and integrating the town into broader imperial networks, though Galicia remained the empire's poorest crownland, with Chortkiv's growth limited by rural poverty and emigration waves to both Americas starting in the 1880s. The castle, originally built in the , was repurposed by Austrian authorities as a and occasional for political dissidents, symbolizing the shift from defense to administrative utility. Cultural life reflected ethnic diversity, with Polish elites maintaining Dominican monasteries—spared dissolution unlike in other Habsburg lands—and Ukrainian intellectuals fostering folk traditions, while Jewish institutions included synagogues and yeshivas that thrived under relative religious tolerance post-1789 Josephinist reforms. Tensions arose during the 1848 Spring of Nations, when local Ruthenian peasants briefly aligned with imperial forces against Polish nobles, though Chortkiv saw no major upheavals. World War I disrupted Habsburg control when Russian forces occupied Chortkiv from July 1915 to June 1917, imposing and requisitions that exacerbated and displacement among the roughly residents circa 1910. Austrian reconquest followed, but imperial collapse in ended Habsburg rule, with the town briefly falling under the West Ukrainian National Republic before Polish forces secured it in July 1919. Overall, the 146-year Austrian period brought administrative stability and but limited industrialization, preserving Chortkiv's agrarian character amid Galicia's ethnic mosaic.

Interwar Period and World War II

Following the end of World War I and the Polish-Ukrainian War, Chortkiv (Polish: Czortków) was incorporated into the Second Polish Republic in 1919 as part of the Tarnopol Voivodeship, serving as the seat of a powiat (county). The town experienced a brief Bolshevik occupation in 1920 lasting about three months before Polish forces retook control. During the interwar period, the population grew to approximately 11,000–12,000 by 1939, with Jews comprising around 5,000–6,000, engaged primarily in trade, crafts, and small-scale commerce. Economic distress persisted due to post-war recovery challenges, exacerbated for Jews by Polish government policies promoting "Polonization," including economic boycotts, heavy taxation, and exclusion from public sector jobs, leading to widespread poverty in the Jewish community during the 1930s. The Soviet invasion of eastern Poland on September 17, 1939, brought Chortkiv under Red Army control, annexing it to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Soviet authorities nationalized private property, closed Jewish institutions, and arrested community leaders, while introducing Yiddish-language schools and increased taxation; thousands of Poles and some Jews were deported to Siberia. In January 1940, young Polish residents staged an anti-Soviet uprising, which was quickly suppressed. As German forces advanced in June 1941, NKVD personnel evacuated the local prison on June 23–24, massacring hundreds of inmates, primarily Ukrainian and Polish political prisoners, before fleeing. German forces occupied Chortkiv on July 6, 1941, initiating immediate anti-Jewish violence, including pogroms incited by local Ukrainians under Nazi propaganda, resulting in the murder of around 300 Jews in the prison courtyard on July 10 and 150 more in a nearby forest on July 28. Further executions targeted Jewish intelligentsia, with 200 killed on October 15, 1941. A ghetto was established in April 1942, confining the remaining Jewish population amid forced labor and epidemics. Deportations to the Bełżec extermination camp commenced on August 26–27, 1942, when approximately 2,000 Jews were transported, alongside 600 shot locally; another 500 followed on October 5, 1942. The ghetto's liquidation in June–September 1943 involved mass shootings of about 2,000 residents, declaring the area Judenrein, though a labor camp persisted until its destruction in June 1943. Small resistance groups operated in surrounding forests, but few succeeded in evasion. Of the pre-war Jewish population, only dozens survived by hiding or flight; the Red Army liberated Chortkiv in March–June 1944.

Soviet Incorporation and Post-War Era

Following the Red Army's liberation of Chortkiv from Nazi German occupation on March 23, 1944, the city was reincorporated into the as part of the newly re-established . Due to extensive destruction in (Tarnopol), Chortkiv temporarily functioned as the administrative center of the from 1944 to 1946, facilitating initial Soviet governance and reconstruction efforts in the war-ravaged region. The post-war era under Soviet rule emphasized rapid industrialization and agricultural collectivization, though Chortkiv's economy remained oriented toward and farming, with state-directed enterprises replacing pre-war private trade and crafts. Soviet policies led to the of remaining Polish populations to between 1944 and 1946 under agreements, while the near-total extermination of the Jewish community during left fewer than 100 survivors, resulting in a predominantly ethnic Ukrainian populace by the late . Resistance to Soviet authority persisted through activities of the (UPA) in , with operations against communist officials and continuing into the early 1950s, prompting intensified NKVD repressions, mass arrests, and forced labor deportations to . The , central to local identity, endured systematic persecution, including the arrest of clergy and forcible liquidation in , as part of broader efforts to subordinate Western Ukrainian institutions to Moscow's control. By the 1960s, Chortkiv had stabilized as a regional hub with Soviet-era , including expanded rail links and collective farms, though economic growth lagged behind due to the area's agricultural focus and residual damage.

Ukrainian Independence and Recent Developments

Following the , Chortkiv became part of independent Ukraine upon the country's declaration of sovereignty on 24 August 1991, marking the end of 47 years under Soviet administration. The city, previously an oblast-level urban center in the Ukrainian SSR, transitioned without significant local conflict, retaining its administrative role within amid broader post-Soviet economic challenges such as and . In 2020, Ukraine's decentralization reforms restructured administrative divisions, enlarging by merging it with territories from five abolished raions (Zalishchytskyi, Borshchivskyi, Buchachskyi, Pidhaitskyi, and parts of others), expanding its area to approximately 5,595 square kilometers and to over 226,000 as of the reform's on 18 July 2020. This consolidation aimed to streamline governance and enhance local self-reliance, transforming Chortkiv into the central hub of a larger territorial unit while preserving its urban status. The Russian full-scale invasion beginning 24 February 2022 brought direct threats to Chortkiv despite its western location, including a strike on 11 June 2022 that injured 23 civilians, damaged residential buildings and , and prompted immediate humanitarian response. The hosted over 2,700 internally displaced persons from frontline regions, straining and systems, and established an operations headquarters under Volodymyr Shmatko to manage defense, aid distribution, and civil protection from the invasion's outset. To bolster resilience against wartime blackouts and attacks, Chortkiv completed Ukraine's first solar-powered project in September 2025, equipping a plant with panels generating 150 kW to ensure uninterrupted supply for 30,000 residents. Ongoing Russian aerial assaults have caused debris falls and minor damage in the Chortkiv area as recently as October 2025, while community events, such as a 24 October 2025 rally honoring missing soldiers and captives, underscore local solidarity with national defense efforts.

Demographics

Historical Population and Ethnic Shifts

Chortkiv's population and ethnic makeup evolved from a modest multiethnic settlement to a center marked by significant Jewish presence under Habsburg administration, followed by drastic homogenization after .

This table illustrates the growth of the Jewish segment, which formed a majority in 1921 based on available figures, alongside Polish and Ukrainian (Ruthenian) groups typical of Galician towns. The Jewish proportion expanded amid economic opportunities in and crafts during Austrian rule, while the overall increased as a administrative hub. precipitated profound shifts: Soviet occupation in 1939–1941 brought refugees, temporarily boosting the Jewish count, but Nazi forces from 1941 implemented ghettos, mass executions, and deportations—such as 2,000 to Bełżec in —reducing survivors to roughly 100 by March 1944. Post-liberation Soviet policies facilitated the exodus of remaining Poles via repatriation agreements with amid border adjustments, eliminating Jewish resettlement and suppressing minority identities through efforts and collectivization. Consequently, the ethnic structure transitioned to overwhelming Ukrainian dominance, a pattern reinforced by regional exchanges and the absence of pre-war minorities. As of 2022, Chortkiv's was estimated at 28,279 residents, down from 29,053 on January 1, 2021. This figure pertains to the , while the broader Chortkiv urban (territorial community), encompassing surrounding settlements, numbered 36,632 inhabitants as of 2023. The ethnic composition is predominantly Ukrainian, mirroring Oblast's demographics from the 2001 , the most recent comprehensive national count, where formed the overwhelming majority alongside minor Russian (approximately 1-2%) and Polish populations. No significant shifts in ethnic proportions have been documented since, given the region's historical homogeneity and limited influx of non-Ukrainian groups post-independence. Population trends indicate a modest decline, averaging around 0.55% annually in from 2001 to 2022, driven by low birth rates, aging demographics, and . The 2022 Russian invasion exacerbated outflows, with Ukraine-wide displacement affecting even rear areas like Chortkiv through voluntary relocation to and , though direct combat absence mitigated sharper drops compared to eastern regions. Official estimates reflect net losses from these factors, with potential stabilization hinging on postwar and economic recovery.
