Korchyn (Ukrainian: Ко́рчин, Polish: Korczyn) is a village (selo) in Stryi Raion, Lviv Oblast, in Western Ukraine. The village is located along the Stryi River, on the road between the urban-type settlements of Verkhnie Synovydne and Skhidnytsia. Korchyn belongs to Skole urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] It is 104 kilometres (65 mi) from the city of Lviv, 25 kilometres (16 mi) from Skole, and 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Skhidnytsia.
Local government is administered by Korchynska village council. [2]

History

[edit]

The first record of the village dates back to 1446.[3] According to history, Korchyn divided into two parts: Eastern part  with the ancient name Korchyn Rustykalnyy and Western part , Korchyn Shlyahetskyy.

Until 18 July 2020, Korchyn belonged to Skole Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Skole Raion was merged into Stryi Raion.[4][5]
