Founding of Ropcha (14 February 1448)

Ropcha (Ukrainian: Ропча; Romanian: Ropcea; German: Roptscha or Ropcze) is a village in Chernivtsi Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to Storozhynets urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

Until 18 July 2020, Ropcha belonged to Storozhynets Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Storozhynets Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion. In 2001, 94.46% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 4.51% spoke Ukrainian.
