Geography

Balta Raion was located in the northern part of the Odesa Oblast. [5]

History

Balta Raion was first established on 7 March 1923 as part of a full-scale administrative reorganization of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. [4] Between 1924 and 1940, Balta was part of Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, and then reverted to Ukraine.

Until 2016, the city of Balta was part of Balta Raion. On 4 February 2016, it was designated the city of oblast significance but remained the administrative center of the raion. [6]

Administrative divisions

Balta Raion was divided in a way that followed the general administrative scheme in Ukraine. Local government was also organized along a similar scheme nationwide. Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.

Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction. However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.

Accordingly, until 2016 Balta Raion was divided into: [4]

Overall, the raion had a total of 42 populated localities, consisting of one city, and 41 villages. [4]

According to the 2001 census, the majority of the population of the Balta district in its boundaries at that time spoke Ukrainian (89.3%), with Russian (8.7%) and Romanian (1.5%) speakers in the minority. [7]

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of one hromadas, [8] Pishchana rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Pishchana.
