On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast was reduced to four, and the area of Zolotonosha Raion was significantly expanded. Two abolished raions, Chornobai and Drabiv Raions, as well as the city of Zolotonosha, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Zolotonosha Raion.[2][3] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 39,349 (2020 est.)[4].
