History edit
Pasichna's founding date is a matter of some debate; Ukrainian sources typically place the village's founding as 1560, while Polish sources claim it was founded in the later half of the 15th century. Petroleum production began in the village in 1860, and the local Catholic population began to increase. In 1912, a wooden Catholic church was constructed in the village.[3] The village is part of Hutsulshchyna.[4]
During World War II, Ukrainian Soviet partisans under the command of Sydir Kovpak briefly resided in the village.[5]
