Korovyntsi was first mentioned at some point in the 17th century. It was occupied by the Red Army in January 1918 during the Ukrainian–Soviet War.[2] The village was also the location of battles between the Red Army and Nestor Makhno's Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine.[3]
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an underground network of Ukrainian partisans fought against Russian military forces.[4] A "green corridor" for refugees was also planned to go through the village during the invasion.[5]
Vyshyvankas from Korovyntsi are notable for their unique floral patterns on the sleeves of the vyshyvanka.[6]
