Vylok (Ukrainian: Вилок; Hungarian: Tiszaújlak) (formerly Ukrainian: Уйлок) is a rural settlement in Berehove Raion (district) of Zakarpattia Oblast (region) in western Ukraine.[2] Today, the population is 3,117 (2022 estimate)[3].

The village is located around 15 (by rail) / 16 (by highway)[2] km of Vynohradiv, and 22 km of Berehove along the right bank of the river Tisza.

History

Urban-type settlement since 1959. In 1968, its population was 3.5 thousand people. There was a lumber mill and a shoe factory.[4]

Population was 3,422 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] 80% of its population was Hungarian and mayor was Yosyp Kilb (József Kilb).

On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of urban-type settlement, and Vylok became a rural settlement.[5]
