Yarmolyntsi (Ukrainian: Ярмолинці; Jarmolynzi, Jarmolińce) is an urban-type settlement in Khmelnytskyi Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast in western Ukraine.[1] It hosts the administration of Yarmolyntsi settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[3] The settlement's population was 8,806 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census[1] and 7,263 (2021 est.)[4]
The settlement was first founded in 1400. It received the Magdeburg rights in 1455. Yarmolyntsi has had the status of an urban-type settlement since 1958.[1]
In October and November of 1942, Yarmolyntsi became a Nazi mass murder site. 26,000 Jews from the region were hunted down and systematically murdered there. No Jews remain in Yarmolyntsi.
Until 18 July 2020, Yarmolyntsi was the administrative center of Yarmolyntsi Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast to three. The area of Yarmolyntsi Raion was merged into Khmelnytskyi Raion.[5][6]
