It is located in the Vinnytsia Oblast and is the administrative center of the Shmerynka Raion with about 35,000 inhabitants .

The present city originated in the 18th century and developed rapidly after the construction of several railway lines in the 19th century, which had their junction here. In 1903 it was granted city rights. At that time it was located in the Russian Empire in the Podolia Governorate and then joined the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union . During the Second World War the place was occupied by Romania and annexed to Transnistria under the name Șmerinca . After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the city became part of the independent Ukraine.
