Kobyletska Poliana (Ukrainian: Кобилецька Поляна; Hungarian: Kabola Polyána before 1899 or Hungarian: Gyertyánliget after 1899; Yiddish: פּאליען-קאבילצקי, Russian: Кобылецкая Поляна, Slovak: Kobylecká Poľana) is an urban-type settlement in Rakhiv Raion (district) of Zakarpattia Oblast (province) in western Ukraine.[2] The town's population was 3,392 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] Current population: 3,480 (2022 estimate).[3]
The settlement was first mentioned in 1672 as Kabola Poliana (Ukrainian: Кабола Поляна).[4] In 1891, the population of the town was 1,406 and consisted of Hungarians and Rusyns.[5] In 1910, the settlement was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary, and had a population of 1,832 inhabitants, a mixture of Rusyns, Hungarians, and Germans.[4] In 1941, the town's Jewish population was 427.[6] In 1971, Kobyletska Poliana was granted the status of an urban-type settlement.[2]
The town once housed the Church of the Ascension of the Lord, a wooden church dating back to the 16th century. A sign next to the building stated that a wooden bell tower was constructed next to the church in 1512.[7] The church was destroyed by an act of vandalism in 1992.[7]
