history

The settlement was mentioned in writing for the first time on October 7, 1453 and belonged to the Principality of Moldova until 1776 . After that she was part of Austria in the crown land of Bukovina and belonged to the judicial district of Kotzman . In 1866 the place already received a rail connection on the Lemberg-Chernivtsi-Jassy railway line from Lemberg to Chernivtsi , and on July 12, 1898, the New Bukowina Local Railway Company opened the Luzan – Zaleszczyki local railway , which ended here and led north. The economic development of the place was greatly favored, new shops and houses were built around the station, and a sugar factory was also opened. During this time, Jews and German residents also settled in the village inhabited by Ukrainians.

After the end of the First World War in 1918, the place came to Romania (in the Cernăuţi district ), in the course of the annexation of North Bukovina on June 28, 1940 it became part of the Ukrainian SSR within the Soviet Union (again to Romania between 1941 and 1944) and is part of Ukraine since 1991. In 1968 it was elevated to an urban-type settlement.
