History

First historical mention about Voynyliv dates to the 15th century, namely in accounts of the battle of Turkish armies with Polish troops of king Jan III Sobieski of Poland. According to other sources it was founded in 1352 as village Prokopivka and received town privileges in 1443.

Prior to World War II, Voynyliv like most of western Ukraine, belonged to Poland and had ab. 1000 inhabitants. It was a seat of village commune () in the district () of Kalush. The population of the town consisted of Jews engaged in commerce as well as Poles and Ukrainians. There was Roman Catholic church in Voynyliv though it was taken down by Soviets in 1945. In inter-war period there existed the Society of Polish Landmen. Rich Polish landlords had estates in nearby villages of Serednye, Babyn and Dorokhiv. In 1926 the first independent district union of milkmen was started in Voynyliv with good results, after which other unions started to emerge.

There were two schools in town — one for men and one for women.

Until 26 January 2024, Voinyliv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Voinyliv became a rural settlement.

Coat of arms

Voynyliv had historical coat of arms, officially approved in 1689. It depicted a lion emerging from a fortress wall and holding the wreath in its paws. Similar design of town's coat of arms — a yellow lion on a blue background (national colours of Ukraine) with a fortress wall in the lower part, functions as official symbol of the town today.
