geography

history

The city was probably mentioned as early as 1158, the first unequivocal mention comes in 1501 in a Moldavian chronicle. From 1514 to 1574 the place was occupied by the Turks, after which it belonged to the Principality of Moldova until 1774 . From 1774 to 1918 he was part of the Austrian Empire (from 1849 part of the crown land of Bukovina ).

At the end of the 18th century, forest management was an important economic factor in the place, in 1855 the market town at that time was appointed the seat of a district administration. The opening of the Nepolokoutz – Wiznitz local railway of the New Bukowina Local Railway Company on July 7, 1898, which had its terminus in town, was important for economic development .

In the summer of 1909 a fire disaster occurred in the village , in which 103 houses burned down.

After the end of the First World War , the place became part of Romania , Storojineț district , and became a border town with Poland . Between 1930 and 1944 there was a combined railway and road bridge made of wood across the then border river Cheremosch to the then Polish sister city of Kuty. After the German attack in 1939 , the Polish government, along with a large number of soldiers and civilians, entered exile at this border crossing . In 1940 Vyshnytsia received city rights. In the course of the annexation of Northern Bukovina on June 28, 1940, it became part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic within the Soviet Union . Between 1941 and 1944, the city again belonged to Romania and is now part of Ukraine, which has been independent since 1991.

There was a strong Jewish population in the village , who strongly shaped the history and face of Vyshnytsia. The majority were killed or displaced during World War II. The Hasidic Wischnitz movement was founded in Vyshnytsia .
