Chortkiv (Ukrainian: Чортків, IPA: [tʃortˈkiu̯]; Polish: Czortków; Yiddish: טשארטקאוו, romanized: Tshortkov) is a city in Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast, western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Chortkiv Raion, housing the district's local administration buildings. Chortkiv hosts the administration of Chortkiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[3] Population: 28,279 (2022 estimate).[4]
Chortkiv is located in the northern part of the historic region of Galician Podolia on the banks of the Seret River.[1][5]
In the past Chortkiv was the home of many Hasidic Jews; it was a notable shtetl and had a significant number of Jews residing there prior to the Holocaust. Today, Chortkiv is a regional commercial and small-scale manufacturing center.[5] Among its architectural monuments is a fortress built in the 16th and 17th centuries[6] as well as historic wooden churches of the 17th and 18th centuries.[7]
