History edit

Korshiv was first mentioned on 12 February 1448 in the records of the court of the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia.[2] During the early 20th century, Andrey Sheptytsky organised children's summer camps in the village.[3][4] In 1939, according to Volodymyr Kubijovyč, the population was 3,290. Of this population, 3,170 residents were Ukrainians, 60 Polish people, 40 Latynnyky, and 20 Jews.[5] Ukrainian Insurgent Army forces under the command of Mykhailo Moskaliuk [uk] also attacked the village on 22 March 1945, destroying the local prison.[6]

In 2020, a medical dispensary was established in Korshiv.[7]
