Borynia (Ukrainian: Бориня) is a rural settlement in Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine. It is situated near the Stryi River, about 145km (90miles) from the city of Lviv,[1] 106km (66miles) from Uzhhorod, and 14km (09miles) from Turka. It hosts the administration of Borynia settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2] Its local government is the Borynia Settlement Council.[3] Population:
The main occupation of the population is agriculture and forestry.
The first written mention of the settlement dates back to 1552.[4] In 1870 a treasure of Roman coins from Emperor Trajan times, were discovered in Borynia.
Until 18 July 2020, Borynia belonged to Turka 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 Turka Raion was merged into Sambir Raion.[5] [6]
Until 26 January 2024, Borynia was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Borynia became a rural settlement.[7]
