history

The Turkish - Tatar settlement Hirybursyn (Ukrainian Гірибурзин ) has been located on the area of ​​the present-day village of Roksolany since 1657 . After the 6th Russo-Turkish War it belonged from 1793 to the Russian statesman and adventurer Adrian Moissejewitsch Gribowski ( Адриан Моисеевич Грибовский ; 1766-1833) and from 1803 the settlement was owned by the von Marchozkych family. The village was first mentioned in writing as Roksolany in 1856 (In the history of the cities and villages of the Ukrainian SSR , the 1840s are mentioned as the founding years).

During the Second World War , the village was occupied by Romanian troops between 1941 and 1944 . After the liberation by the Red Army , the village became part of the Ukrainian SSR within the Soviet Union and, after its collapse in 1991, part of the independent Ukraine.

Until November 2017, Roksolany was an independent district council and since then administratively belongs to the rural municipality Dalnyk ( Дальницької територіальної громади Dalnyzkoji terytorialnoji hromady ).
