The origin of the village is associated with the ancient settlements of the Korsiv, which existed here before the Mongol-Tatar invasion.[2] The current name is first mentioned in 1440 when the village was a small town. In 1626, as a result of the Tatars attack, the town was destroyed, and the village remained in its place.
