Middle Ages, modern era
The first written mention of the settlement was in 1485 as the property of the Buczacki brothers, who had the Abdank coat of arms.
In 1485, the sons of David Buczacki, Michal, Stanislav and Jan, acquired the villages of Shvaikivtsi and Sekmanivtsi in Podilia from the Fredro family. [3]
According to the Podolsk Voivodeship tax register, compiled by the royal captain and customs officer of Podolsk, Stanisław Jacimirski in 1569, the village belonged to the heir Golinski and had three plowmen, each of whom was required to pay 10 groschens from the plow. [4] [5]
The tax register of the Kamianets eyalet for 1681 describes the state of the village thus: "The village of Shvaikivtsi is abandoned, not far from Chortkiv. One watermill was destroyed. By estimating the cost of 5000." [6]
In 1785, the village had 306 inhabitants. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were two inns (owned by Jews) and two shops in Shvaikivtsi. In 1880, there were 96 houses and 633 people in the village. Several locals emigrated to Canada. In the village, there was a folwark (owned by the deceased German Rudorf), and a mill.
