Īrcheological findings suggest that the first fortified town in the territory of present-day Dnipro probably dates to the mid- 16th century. It hosts the administration of Dnipro urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

Dnipro is the administrative centre of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. It is located in the eastern part of Ukraine, 391 km (243 mi) southeast of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on the Dnieper River, after which it is named.

Dnipro ( Ukrainian: Дніпро ( listen)), previously called Dnipropetrovsk ( Ukrainian: Дніпропетро́вськ ) from 1926 until May 2016, is Ukraine's fourth-largest city, with about one million inhabitants.
