Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the ratio of urban and rural population of Southern Bessarabia according to the materials of the First General census of the Russian Empire in 1897. A comparison between the population ratios of Southern Bessarabia’s counties and other districts of the Bessarabian province was made. In order to show the dynamics of changes in rural and urban population in the second half of the XIXth - early XXth centuries, other sources were also used - reviews of the Bessarabian province for 1878 and 1910. Special attention was paid to the ratio of ethno-confessional groups. The features of the distribution of ethnic groups in towns and villages were considered, as well as the reasons that caused such a structure.
