Frankívs’kyj District (Ukrainian: Франкі́вський райо́н) is an urban district in the city of Lviv, named after the Ukrainian writer and social activist Ivan Franko. This district covers the southwestern part of the city. It contains such neighborhoods as Vulka, Kastelivka, Novyi Svit and Kulparkiv.

Name

[edit]

The Frankivs'kyi district is one of the youngest in the city – as a separate administrative unit, it was established on April 15, 1973, and was named the Soviet district of Lviv. However, it received its modern name on February 3, 1993, when the Verkhovna Rada approved its new name – Frankivsk district of Lviv.[1]
