history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1692, received Magdeburg town charter in 1700 and was initially in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania , Podolian Voivodeship . King Jan III Sobieski had a castle built on the strategically important rock as a defense against the Ottomans, but its importance diminished after the Ottomans withdrew. As a result of fighting with Russian troops in 1769, the fortress wall was badly damaged. In 1772 the place came as Okopy to the then Austrian crown land of Galicia and became a border town to Russia, a customs office was set up in the place. Between 1810 and 1815 he was briefly part of the Russian Empire within the Tarnopol district and then came back into Austrian hands, from 1867 he was incorporated in the Galician district of Borszczów . The place here had the status of a market town, but lost it after 1918 under Polish rule.
After the end of the First World War , the place came to the Polish Republic (in the Voivodeship Tarnopol , Powiat Borszczów, Gmina Okopy Świętej Trójcy), the previously independent district Kozaczówka was united with Okopy during this time. During the Second World War from 1939 to 1941, Okopy was then occupied by the Soviet Union and then by Germany until 1944 and incorporated into the Galicia district.
After the end of the war, the village was added to the Soviet Union , there the village came to the Ukrainian SSR and has been part of the independent Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
