## About

Dolynska is a town in Kirovohrad Oblast in central Ukraine. It grew around a railway junction linking routes toward Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv.

## Notes

The Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine dates the change from Shevchenkove to Dolynska to August 1944; 1957 is the year of city status, not the renaming. Reference: https://esu.com.ua/article-20610
