Name
In addition to the Ukrainian Ямпіль (Yampil), in other languages the name of the city is Romanian: Iampol and Russian: Ямполь.
Geography
The city is located on the Dnister River, directly on the Ukrainian border with Moldova, near the commune of Cosăuți. It is located 7 mi (11 km) away from the Moldovan settlement Soroca.[4]
History
Yampil was first founded in the early 1600s.[5] It was a private town, administratively located in the Bracław Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In 1792, the Polish 6th and 8th National Cavalry Brigades were garrisoned in Jampol.[6] It was annexed by Imperial Russia in the Second Partition of Poland in 1793.
In 1924, the settlement received the status of an urban-type settlement.
Prior to World War II, the city had a large Jewish population. Particularly, in 1900, Yampil's Jewish population was 2,823.[4] The city center consisted of a large number of Jewish-owned buildings and four synagogues.[7] The city also had a castle and river port.
In 1985, it was named the administrative center of the surrounding Yampil Raion,[5] one of the historical raions of Vinnytsia Oblast. The Yampil raion was abolished and its territory was merged into Mohyliv-Podilskyi Raion on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Vinnytsia Oblast to six, and Yampil was no longer a raion-level administrative center after 1985.[8][9]
Demographics
In the 2001 Ukrainian Census, the city's population was 11,651.[10] As of January 1, 2011[update] the city's population consisted of 11,302.[11]
