Rokytne (Ukrainian: Рокитне, Russian: Рокитное, Polish: Rokitno) is an urban-type settlement in Rivne Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. It also serves as the administrative center of Rokytne Raion (district), housing the district's local administration buildings. Its population was 7,143 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] Current population: 6,650 (2020 est.)[3]
A settlement named Okhotnikove (Ukrainian: Охотнікове) was located on the territory of Rokytne since around the 17th century.[2] In 1888, the village of Okhotnikove was incorporated, and it kept that name until it was renamed to "Rokytne" in 1922. Rokytne acquired the status of an urban-type settlement in 1940.[2] Rokytne is the birthplace of a Ukrainian-American theologian, historian, and political analyst Sergey F Dezhnyuk.
