[2] On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast was reduced to three, and the area of Khmelnytskyi Raion was significantly expanded.

One of the main rivers that runs through the raion is the Southern Bug.

Consequently, raions were subdivided into councils, which were the prime level of administrative division in the country.

Each of the raion's urban localities administered their own councils, often containing a few other villages within its jurisdiction.

However, only a handful of rural localities were organized into councils, which also might contain a few villages within its jurisdiction.
