History[]

Zolotonosha was first mentioned in written works around the year 1576. In 1635 Zolotonosha was granted the Magdeburg rights. During 1640-48 the town was directly ruled by Jeremi Wiśniowiecki, a Polish magnate.[3] After 1796 it was incorporated into Malorossia and then in 1802 became a part of , meaning that Jews were allowed to settle in the city and started to gradually arrive in larger numbers.[4][3]

There was a Pogrom in October 1905 which ended with much of the town being burned down and Jews being targeted.[4]

Following the Ukrainian War of Independence (1917–1921), Zolotonosha became part of Ukrainian SSR, a republic of the Soviet Union. During this period, there were two more Pogroms, one on April 24, 1919 committed by local bandits, and another on May 12 committed by Red Army troops.[4]

In 1939 the 2,087 members of the Jewish community comprised 11.4% of the town's total population. On September, 1941, 300 Jews were murdered in a mass execution. On 22 November 1941, in Strunkovka, just northwest of the town, more than 3,500 Jews were killed in another massacre. The city was liberated by the Red Army on September, 1943. When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, the city became part of Ukraine.

Until 18 July 2020, Zolotonosha was designated as a city of oblast significance and belonged to Zolotonosha Municipality but not to Zolotonosha 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 Cherkasy Oblast to four, the city was merged into Zolotonosha Raion.[5][6]
