Stepan (Ukrainian: Степань; Polish: Stepań; Hebrew: סטפאן) is a rural settlement in Sarny Raion (district) of Rivne Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. Its population was 4,073 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] Current population: 4,062 (2022 estimate)[3]

The settlement is located in the historic Volhynia region of Ukraine, on the left bank of the Horyn, a tributary of the Prypiat.[4]

History

The first written mention of Stepan dates back to 1290.[2] In 1900, the Jewish population of Stepan totaled 1,854.[5] During the World War II occupation of Ukraine, the Nazi German occupying forces established a Jewish ghetto, where nearly 3000 Jews were killed.[4] In 1960, Stepan acquired the status of an urban-type settlement.[2] On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Stepan became a rural settlement.[6]
