Smyha (Ukrainian: Смига) is a rural settlement in Dubno Raion, Rivne Oblast, western Ukraine. Its population was 3,015 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] Current population: 2,560 (2022 estimate).[3]
History
The settlement was first founded in 1861 as the village of Kenneberg (Ukrainian: Кеннеберг).[2] It was renamed to its current name "Smyha" in 1928, and it acquired the status of an urban-type settlement in 1980.[2]
Until 26 January 2024, Smyha was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Smyha became a rural settlement.[4]
