|title=Historical affiliations |fontsize=85% |quote=Moldavia 1666–1711 Ottoman Empire 1711–1812 Russian Empire 1812–1917 Moldavian Democratic Republic 1917–1918 Kingdom of Romania 1918–1940 Soviet Union (Ukrainian SSR) 1940–1941 Kingdom of Romania 1941–1944 Soviet Union (Ukrainian SSR) 1944–1991 Ukraine 1991–present
In January 1918, Soviet power was proclaimed in Sokyrian Oblast, and the confiscation of landlord lands began. In November 1918, Bessarabia, including the Sokiryan region, was occupied by Austro-German troops, thus royal Romania. After joining the USSR on November 12, 1940, the Bukovina Krai was formed Sokyryansky district.
In the 60s of the 20th century, the territory of the Sokyrian region was part of the Kelmenets district. In the mid-1960s, Sokyryan district was restored within its previous administrative boundaries. City since 1966.
In January 1989, the population was 11 819 people.
In January 2013, the population was 9462 people.
Until 18 July 2020, Sokyriany served as an administrative center of Sokyriany Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Sokyriany Raion was merged into Dnistrovskyi Raion.
