WW2 monument in Pidhorodne

Pidhorodne (Ukrainian: Підгородне, IPA: [pidɦoˈrɔdne]) is a city in Dnipro Raion, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Pidhorodne urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: 19,138 (2022 estimate). In 2001, the population was 17,763.

The populated place is known since 1600 as a "wintering place" (zymivnyk) of Cossacks from Samar and carried a name Bohorodytski Khutory (hamlets of Theotokos).

Soon after the liquidation of the Zaporozhian Sich, in 1778 those hamlets were united into a "state military sloboda" of Pidhorodne being located near the newly established Yekaterinoslav (before being moved to the right bank of Dnieper).

On 12 October 2024, the National Commission of the State Language added Pidhorodne to the list of populated places that should be renamed as part of derussification. To comply with the norms of the Ukrainian language, the city is recommended to be renamed to Pidhorodnie.
