- Administrative/biographical history:
- This was established pursuant to the Provisional Workers’ and Peasants’ Government of Ukraine decree (14 January 1919) “On organizing local-level power”; however, its operations were suspended in August of that year due to the presence of the Volunteer Army of A. I. Denikin in the territory of the county. It provided social services to disabled or incapacitated persons and guardianship of orphans, and supervised rural departments of social services. It was under the jurisdiction of the county executive committee, as well as the corresponding provincial department of social services (originally that of the Kherson province; from December 1920 on, the Nikolaev province, and from October 1922, the Odessa province). It was disbanded in March 1923 in connection with the liquidation of counties.
