New York[2] or Niu-York[3] (Ukrainian: Нью-Йорк, romanizedNiu-Jork, Ukrainian pronunciation: [ˈnʲʊ jɔ̈rk]) is an urban settlement in Toretsk urban hromada of Bakhmut Raion of Donetsk Oblast, at 37.9 km NNE from the centre of Donetsk city. The settlement was from 1951 until 2021 named Novhorodske (Ukrainian: Но́вгородське, romanizedNovhorodśke).[4][5]

New York is administratively subordinated to Toretsk city, that is located about 10 km north of New York. Population: 9,917 (2021 est.)[6]

History

The settlement first appeared on maps in 1846 under its original name New York and was then situated in the Yekaterinoslav Governorate of the Russian Empire.[7] According to official data, in 1859 the village consisted of 13 households, 45 male residents, 40 female residents, and a factory and was formally named Oleksandrivske.[7][8] The precise origin of the settlement's name is unclear.[9]

German-speaking Mennonites bought the settlement in 1889, and in 1892 formed the colony of New York from seven settlements.[8][9] In 1941 all Germans still living in New York were deported to Kazakhstan.[9][8]

The town used to thrive through its industry, but it fell into decline after the World War I.[9]

On 19 October 1951, by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR, the village was renamed Novhorodske.[4][7] A request for renaming the settlement back to New York has been submitted by the Civil–military administration of Donetsk Oblast and was approved by the Ukrainian parliament's Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-Government, Regional Development and Urban Planning on 3 February 2021 (18 votes "for" and 1 "against").[10] On 1 July 2021 parliament officially renamed the town back to its original name New York (the resolution was supported by 301 people's deputies; Yevgeniy Shevchenko was the sole MP who voted "against", 13 MP's from Servant of the People and 12 from Opposition Platform — For Life abstained).[4][5]

The town is situated near the frontline between the (and on the side of the) Ukrainian army and the Russia-backed Donetsk People's Republic of the war in Donbas.[9] This conflict, that started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties. On 8 November 2016 a civilian was killed by shelling.[11] Local council head Mykola Lenko stated in July 2021 that five residents had been killed since the start of the conflict.[9]

In 2021, Ukrainian writer Victoria Amelina, whose husband had roots in New York, founded Ukrainian New York Literature Festival. The festival first took place in October 2021.[12]
