Kozova
Kozova (Ukrainian: Козова; Polish: Kozowa; Russian: Козо́ва; Yiddish: קאזעווע) is a rural settlement in Ternopil Raion, Ternopil Oblast, western Ukraine. It is located in the historical region of Galicia, 16 km (10 mi) east of Berezhany, some 30 km (19 mi) west of Ternopil, and 100 km (62 mi) southeast of Lviv. It hosts the administration of Kozova settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. The settlement is situated beside a lake on the Koropets River (“little carp”). There is presumption that the name Kozova comes from the Ukrainian word koza (goat), though other possible sources exist. Population: 8,750 (2022 estimate).
From 1350 to 1772 and again from 1919 to 1939, it was part of Poland. The first partition of Poland in 1772 attributed Galicia to the Habsburg monarchy. See more details in the article Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. The Polish name Kozowa was used until 1939.
During the Kerensky Offensive the Armoured Car Expeditionary Force of the British Royal Navy Air Service established their forward operating base here, close to the headquarters of the 41st Corps of the Russian Imperial Army.
Kozova was part of the Soviet Union from 1939 to 1991, interrupted by the period of German occupation, 1941 to 1944.
The population in 1939 was about 5,000, including many Poles and Jews. Upon the German occupation following Operation Barbarossa, the extermination of the town's Jewish population began. After the war's end, the remaining population was almost exclusively Ukrainian, with only a few Poles, Jews and Russians.
The Weingarten family, influential in Canadian and New York real estate, emigrated from Kozova at the turn of the century.
Until 18 July 2020, Kozova served as the administrative center of Kozova Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Kozova Raion was merged into Ternopil Raion.
Until 26 January 2024, Kozova was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Kozova became a rural settlement.
