Zolochiv Raion (Ukrainian: Золочівський район) is a raion (district) in Lviv Oblast in western Ukraine.[2] Its administrative center is the city of Zolochiv. Population: 158,943 (2022 estimate).[1]
It was established in 1939.
On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Lviv Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Zolochiv Raion was significantly expanded. Two abolished raions, Brody and Busk Raions, were merged into Zolochiv Raion. At the same time, part of Zolochiv Raion was transferred to Lviv Raion.[3][4] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 68,394 (2020 est.).[5]
