History
In 1502, King Alexander Jagiellon granted the village to Semyon Olshanski.[2] Later on, it passed to the Ostrogski and Czartoryski families.[2]
Until 26 January 2024, Holovyne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Holovyne became a rural settlement.[3]
