Kobyletska Poliana

Kobyletska Poliana (Ukrainian: Кобилецька Поляна; Hungarian: Kabola Polyána before 1899 or Hungarian: Gyertyánliget after 1899; Yiddish: פּאליען-קאבילצקי, Russian: Кобылецкая Поляна, Slovak: Kobylecká Poľana) is a rural settlement in Rakhiv Raion, Zakarpattia Oblast, western Ukraine. The town's population was 3,392 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census. Current population: 3,480 (2022 estimate).

The settlement was first mentioned in 1672 as Kabola Poliana (Ukrainian: Кабола Поляна). In 1891, the population of the town was 1,406 and consisted of Hungarians and Rusyns. In 1910, the settlement was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary, and had a population of 1,832 inhabitants, a mixture of Rusyns, Hungarians, and Germans. In 1941, the town's Jewish population was 427. In 1971, Kobyletska Poliana was granted the status of an urban-type settlement.

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

The town once housed the Church of the Ascension of the Lord, a wooden church dating back to the 16th century. A sign next to the building stated that a wooden bell tower was constructed next to the church in 1512. The church was destroyed by an act of vandalism in 1992.
