History

[edit]

In the Second Polish Republic, the area belonged to the County of Kopczynce, Tarnopol Voivodeship. Following the First Partition of Poland in 1772, it became part of the Habsburg monarchy's Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Following the Peace of Schönbrunn in 1809, the area was ceded to the Russian Empire but was returned to the Habsburg monarchy as a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, the area became part of the Second Polish Republic. After the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, it was incorporated into the Ukrainian SSR. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany in summer 1941, the area was administrated as part of the General Government. When the Soviet Union retook the area in 1944, the region returned to the Ukrainian SSR. Since the dissolution of the Ukrainian SSR and the Soviet Union in 1991, the area has been part of independent Ukraine.

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast was reduced to three, and the area of Chortkiv Raion was significantly expanded. Five abolished raions, Borshchiv, Buchach, Husiatyn, Monastyryska, and Zalishchyky Raions, as well as the city of Chortkiv, which was previously incorporated as a city of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Chortkiv Raion.[2][3] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 42,832 (2020 est.)[4]
