History edit
Mshanets village was first mentioned in 1463. In 1518, the village became the property of Konstanty Ostrogski, a magnate of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania; later, it became a Grand Hetman of Lithuania.
The village was largely destroyed at the time of the First World War. The whole village was evacuated and houses were destroyed. People departed to different parts of Ukraine.[4]
Until 18 July 2020, Mshanets belonged to Zboriv 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 Zboriv Raion was merged into Ternopil Raion.[5][6]
