It belongs to Staryi Sambir urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The population of the village is just about 461 people, and local government is administered by Velykolinynska village council.[2]
The village is located in the foothills of the Carpathians terrain of the Staryi Sambir Raion. The nearest railway station is in the village Tershiv (9km (06miles)). The village is located near the road Highway H13 (Ukraine)[3] () from Lviv - Sambir to Uzhhorod.

The first record of the village dates back to 1291 year.[4] According to legend, in the village was buried Knyaz Leo I of Galicia[5] (ca. 1228 – ca. 1301) became in turn Knyaz of Belz (1245–1264), Knyaz of Peremyshl, Knyaz of Halych (1264–1269) and Grand Prince of Kiev (1271–1301).
