Kuty (Ukrainian: Кути; Polish: Kuty; Yiddish: קיטעוו, romanized: Kitev, German: Kutten; Romanian: Cuturi), also known historically as Kitów,[1] is a rural settlement in Kosiv Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, western Ukraine. It is situated on the Cheremosh River. It is one of the historical centres of the ancient region of Pokuttya, the name of which may derive from the township. The current population estimate is 4,001 (2022 estimate).[2] Kuty hosts the administration of Kuty settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine, which consists of Kuty township and 6 villages.[3]
Kuty is often associated with Kitów, Poland, as both settlements have historic familial connections, both communities suffered the destruction of their Jews during the Holocaust,[4] both are the originators of the Kitowski surname,[5] and the two towns share a placename in Polish.
