The City of Košice is divided into four Districts (Košice I.- IV.). The District Košice - okolie (Košice - surroundings) is a vicinity of the city, only its administration seat is in Košice.
Districts of Košice are further divided into "mestské časti" (sg. mestská časť/ward):
Okres Košice I. - Džungĺa ("Jungle"), Kavečany, Sever ("North"), Sídlisko Ťahanovce (Ťahanovce - Housing state), Staré mesto ("Old City"), Ťahanovce.
Okres Košice II. - Lorinčík, Luník IX, Myslav, Pereš, Poľov, Sídlisko KVP ("Košického vládneho programu/"Housing estate of the Košice Government Program), Šaca, Západ ("West").
Okres Košice III. - Dargovských hrdinov ("Ward of the Dargov Heroes"), Košická Nová Ves
Okres Košice IV. - Barca, Juh ("South"), Krásna, Nad Jazerom ("Over the Lake"), Šebastovce, Vyšné Opátske.
NB: The translation of Ward names is merely unofficial - that is: done
by myself only to enjoy the "beauty" of these names. Housing estates in
Post - socialist countries - this is in most cases a Labyrinth of
concrete blocks of flats with such inspiring names like the mentioned "Sídlisko
Košického vládneho programu". Košice was in Spring 1945, when Red Army
liberated the eastern Slovakia and occupied forever Subcarpathian Ruthenia,
provisional seat of Czechoslovak Government and President Beneš.
