history

The place was established in the 12th century, was called Krasnopol until the 16th century and was part of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic in the Ruthenian Voivodeship until 1772 . Under the Polish name Sołotwina it belonged to the Austrian Galicia until 1918 and was the seat of a district administration from 1854 to 1867 , then from 1867 the seat of a district court in the Bohorodczany district .

Polish name in Austrian Postage stamp issued in 1894

After the end of the First World War he came to Poland , was incorporated into the Stanislau Voivodeship from 1921 and was only occupied by the Soviet Union and from 1941 to 1944 by Germany and attached to the Galicia district during World War II .

In 1945 the city came back to the Soviet Union , there it became part of the Ukrainian SSR and has been part of today's Ukraine since 1991.

The river Bystryzja Solotwynska, which flows through Solotvyn, is named after the place; this serves to distinguish it from the Bystryzja Nadwirnjanska river, which also flows in this area .
