History

edit

Novytsia was first mentioned in a charter granted by Casimir III the Great in 1367. This makes it one of the oldest-known continually-inhabited settlements in Prykarpattia. During the 1650s, the village came under the ownership of the Czartoryski family. Other parts of the village were owned by Yosyf Shumlyansky.[2] After the Partitions of Poland, the Austrian Empire took over Novytsia, and the Ukrainian cultural organisation Prosvita later operated in the village.[3]

In 1939, Novytsia had a population of 3,620, including 3,530 Ukrainians, 30 Latynnyky, 30 Polish people, and 30 Jews.[4] The Ukrainian Insurgent Army operated in the village during its resistance to the Soviet Union.[5]
