Saranchuky
Saranchuky (Template:Lang-uk, Template:Lang-pl) is a village in Berezhany Raion of Ternopil Oblast in the western area of Ukraine, the historic region of Halychyna (Eastern Galicia). Saranchuky is located in a large, fertile valley plain of the Zolota Lypa River, about 15 km south of Berezhany. The name comes from the word "sarancha" (=Locust).
The Saranchuky area is very densely populated, and there are a few other villages virtually merged with it: Rybnyky, Potutory and Kotiv. The closest railroad station is in Potutory, and there is a small railway stop in Rybnyky. Many[who?] believe that Saranchuky used to be a Tatar settlement.
