The place was first mentioned in a document in 1397; this year it was transferred to German law. Later it was mentioned as Sokolniki (1399), Sokolniky (1417), Sokolnyky (1464), and so on. The name is derived from the profession of falconer (Polish sokolnik ).

The village initially belonged to the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania , Ruthenia Voivodeship , Lviv region and was ethnically Polish as early as the Middle Ages. H. the names of the inhabitants in the historical sources of the time were predominantly Polish. Even then there was a Roman Catholic parish.

During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804). In 1900 the municipality of Sokolniki had 5312 houses with 2613 inhabitants, of which 2574 were Polish-speaking, 39 Ruthenian-speaking, 2568 Roman Catholic, 39 Greek Catholic, 6 Jews.

The inhabitants of the village took part in the Battle of Lviv in the Polish-Ukrainian War . Then the village came to Poland (in the Lemberg Voivodeship , Powiat Lemberg, Gmina Sokolniki). In 1921 the municipality of Sokolniki had 412 houses with 2911 inhabitants, of which 2905 were Poles, 6 Ruthenians, 2857 Roman Catholics, 29 Greek Catholics, 25 Jews (religion).

During the Second World War , the village was occupied by the Soviet Union from September 1939 to the summer of 1941 , and then by Germany until 1944 . Since 1944 it has been part of the Ukrainian SSR and since 1991 part of today's Ukraine.
