History and Religion

The earliest known written mention dates back to 1476, but traces exist of Stone Age settlement (third millennium BC). Archaeological excavations revealed these near the villages of Chuchmany and Humnyska.

Christians of Chuchmany belong to the parish of Humnyska.

Until 18 July 2020, Chuchmany belonged to Busk Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions in Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Busk Raion was merged into Zolochiv Raion.^[4][5]
