History

The settlement was first mentioned in 1672 as Kabola Poliana (). In 1891, the population of the town was 1,406 and consisted of Hungarians and Rusyns. In 1910, the settlement was a part of the Kingdom of Hungary, and had a population of 1,832 inhabitants, a mixture of Rusyns, Hungarians, and Germans. In 1971, Kobyletska Poliana was granted the status of an urban-type settlement.

On 26 January 2024, a new law entered into force which abolished the status of an urban-type settlement, and Kobyletska Poliana became a rural settlement.

The town once housed the Church of the Ascension of the Lord, a wooden church dating back to the 16th century. A sign next to the building stated that a wooden bell tower was constructed next to the church in 1512. The church was destroyed by an act of vandalism in 1992.
