History

Tatarbunary Raion was established in 1940, as one of 13 raions of newly established Akkerman Oblast (later Izmail Oblast) of Ukrainian SSR. The area was transferred from Kingdom of Romania to the USSR following June 1940 Soviet Ultimatum.

In 1954, Izmail Oblast was liquidated, and Tatarbunarskyi Raion, as well as other raions of the oblast, was transferred to Odesa Oblast.

In 1978, the administrative center of the raion, Tatarbunary, was given city status.

At the time of disestablishment, the raion consisted of four hromadas:[4]

  • Dyvisiia rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Dyvisiia;
  • Lyman rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Lyman;
  • Tatarbunary urban hromada with the administration in Tatarbunary;
  • Tuzly rural hromada with the administration in the selo of Tuzly.
