Hlobyne originally had the status of a
town. It was a village in
Poltava Governorate of the
Russian Empire. During
World War II it was occupied by
German troops since September 1941 until September 1943. A
Nazi concentration camp was established in the buildings of the local sugar factory. In 1976, the urban-type settlement of Globino received the status of a city. In January 1989 the population was 13 717 people. Until 18 July 2020, Hlobyne was the administrative center of
Hlobyne Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of
raions of Poltava Oblast to four. The area of Hlobyne Raion was merged into Kremenchuk Raion. == Geography ==
