Lozova is the 2nd largest city in Kharkiv Oblast after Kharkiv in terms of population.
History
Lozova was founded in the late 1860s[4] as a settlement in Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire.[5][6]
During the Russian Civil War it was occupied by German troops from April 1918 until November 1918.[4]
A local newspaper has been published in Lozova since August 1929.[7]
During World War II it was under German occupation from October 11, 1941, to September 16, 1943.[4]
After liberation, the city was completely restored. In 1953 there were four high schools, two libraries, one House of Culture and one stadium.[8]
In 1972 the population was 38.8 thousand people.[5]
In January 1989 the population was 72,991 people.[9][4]
The city was evacuated on August 27, 2008 due to a fire in an arsenal. However, there were no serious casualties or deaths.
In January 2013 the population was 58,307 people.[10]
Until 18 July 2020, Lozova was incorporated as a city of oblast significance and the center of Lozova Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Lozova Municipality was merged into Lozova Raion.[11][12]
