History
From the mid-14th century until the Partitions of Poland, Vynnyky (called Winniki in Polish) belonged to the Ruthenian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland. From 1772 to 1918, it was part of Austrian Galicia, and in the interbellum period, the town returned to Poland, as part of the Lwow Voivodeship. In 1925 the city had 6,000 residents, out of which 3,300 were Polish, 2,150 Ruthenian, 350 Jewish, and 200 German.
Until 18 July 2020, Vynnyky belonged to Lviv Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Lviv Municipality was merged into the newly established Lviv Raion.[3][4]
