The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Verkhnii Rohachyk Raion was merged into Kakhovka Raion.[3][4] Until 26 January 2024, Verkhnii Rohachyk was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Verkhnii Rohachyk became a rural settlement.[5] EconomyTransportationVerkhnii Rohachyk is connected by roads to Nyzhni Sirohozy and Kamianka-Dniprovska, with further access to Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Henichesk.
