Dunaivtsi (Ukrainian: Дунаївці, Russian: Дунаевцы, Polish: Dunajowce) is the capital city of Dunaivtsi Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast (province), Ukraine. The city is located on the river Ternavka, 22 km away from the railway station Dunaivtsi and 68 km from the Khmelnytskyi. Population is 16,223 (2012). Reinforcement plant, repair and engineering works and butter-processing plant are located in the city.
The date of the first written mention in document about Dunaivtsi is 1403. This year is assumed to be the foundation date of the city. Almost two centuries later in 1577 King Sigismund III Vasa gave Dunaivtsi the city status and Magdeburg rights. Industrial peak of the city was on the 1870s, when 54 factories were working and close trade relations were between Dunaivtsi and Kiev, Warsaw, Chişinău, Kharkov, Poltava, Kherson, Łódź, Yarmolyntsi. At the end of the 19th century – beginning of the 20th century the city continued to grow: population and the number of factories and plants increased.
The city was occupied by the Germans from 1941-1944. During the occupation, the Germans carried out executions of the Jews. A witness interviewed by Yahad-In Unum described one of these executions, stating, "The Germans gathered 700 Jews of Demyankovtsy. They took them into the mine where the water rose until their knees. Afterwards, the entrance was exploded and Jews were suffocated inside."
The city is located almost in the geographic center of Dunaivtsi Raion on the river Ternavka (the left tributary of the river Dniester), 68 km away from the center of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast — the city Khmelnytskyi.
