==History== Until 18 July 2020, Shyroke was the administrative center of Shyroke Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Shyroke Raion was merged into Kryvyi Rih Raion.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Про утворення та ліквідацію районів.
