In 1890 there were also 75 houses, with 485 residents in the township with another 28 houses, occupied by 77 people situated on the estate. Of these, 431 were Greek Catholic, 121 Roman Catholic, and 10 Jewish. 431 villagers were Rusyns, 121 Poles and 10 were Germans.
In 1929, there existed one major land owner, a distillery, a stone quarry, a cart/wheelwright, a blacksmith, a tailors, a mill, an oil merchant, and a cobbler. The distillery still exists; currently named “Zarubyntsi Spirits Distillery”. There were also a few cooperatives including “Kólko Rolnicze” from which people could hire agricultural machinery as well as Buducznist and Pomiczt.
The nearest amenities including post office, railway, and medic were all situated in Zbaraż. Isaak Altstädter was the largest proprietor in the village owning the majority of the industry as well as the manorial estate. In 1944 after the redrawing of European boundaries, Zarubyntsi became part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and after the break-up of the Soviet Union part of the independent Ukraine.
Until 18 July 2020, Zarubyntsi belonged to Zbarazh 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 Zbarazh Raion was split between Kremenets and Ternopil Raions, with Zarubyntsi being transferred to Ternopil Raion.[3][4]
