history
The Storozynetz district administration was established by the Austrians in 1775 and from 1849 belonged to the Austrian crown land Duchy of Bukowina ( Storozynetz district ). After the First World War , the area came to Greater Romania on November 27, 1918 , was now called the prefecture and was no longer subordinate to the state government, but to a general directorate in Chernivtsi . On June 14, 1925, a law to unify the administration decreed the dissolution of the previous prefectures and the Storojineţ County was formed. This existed until the annexation of Northern Bukovina by the Soviet Union on June 28, 1940. This struck the district of the Ukrainian SSR and established the Rajons Vyshnytsia , Storozhynets and Hlyboka within the Chernivtsi Oblast in its place. During the Second World War , the district again belonged to Romania between 1941 and 1944.
