Tlumach (Ukrainian: Тлумач; also referred to as Tovmach, Polish: Tłumacz, Yiddish: טאלמיטש) is a small city located in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, in western Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Tlumach Raion (district). Population: 8,975 (2016 est.). In 2001, population was around 8,800.
From the first partition of Poland in 1772 until 1918, the town (named Tłumacz) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the district with the same name, one of the 78 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Austrian Galicia province (Crown land) in 1900. The fate of this province was then disputed between Poland and Russia, until the Peace of Riga in 1921, attributing Galicia to the Second Polish Republic.
A post-office was opened in 1858.
Tłumacz was the seat of a Powiat (district) in the Second Polish Republic. In 1921, its population was around 5,000, consisting mostly of Poles and 2,012 Jews./> The Ukrainians dominated in the villages around the town. During World War II, the Germans murdered the Jews, and those Poles who survived were forced by the Soviets to leave Tlumacz after 1945. Most of them settled in Lower Silesia; they organized themselves into the Association of Inhabitants of Tlumacz, which is located in Wrocław.
