City Hall

The place received city rights in 1411 and later became an important center for the Jews in Galicia. Until 1772 it belonged to the Polish Aristocratic Republic (in the Bełz Voivodeship ), after which it came to the Austrian Galicia . From 1854 to 1867 it was the seat of the Busk District Office, after which a District Court of the Kamionka Strumiłowa District was established. After the end of the First World War, the place came to Poland and was here until 1939 in the Tarnopol Voivodeship , Powiat Kamionka Strumiłowa , Gmina Busk . During the Second World War , the National Socialists set up a ghetto here, which was liquidated on May 19, 1943, and 1,500 residents were killed in the process. In 1912, a narrow-gauge freight railway was built from Krasne to connect the local brewery and to transport wood from Hrabowa , which is located to the north, but this line was dismantled after the Second World War.

The municipality of Nywy (Ниви), which is located north of the city, also belongs to the municipality .
