History edit
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. At the beginning of the 20th century "Prosvita", "Ridna shkola", "Silskyi hospodar" and other Ukrainian societies and organizations operated here.
Until 18 July 2020, Koniukhy belonged to Kozova Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ternopil Oblast to three. The area of Kozova Raion was merged into Ternopil Raion.[3][4]
