History

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]
