History
In 1906, it was a townlet (mestechko) of Velytska Volost in Kovel Uyezd of Volhynia Governorate. Distance from the uyezd town was 45 versts, from the volost 8 versts. There were 115 households and 669 residents.[2]
- February 6, 1631. The townlet of Koshovhorod (modern Kashivka), owned by nobleman Jan Koshovsky, receives a privilege for Magdeburg rights from King Sigismund III Vasa.
- June 1941.[3] Battles took place involving troops of the 22nd Mechanized Corps (41st Tank and 215th Motorized Divisions) together with units of the 15th Rifle Corps, 1st Armored Train Division and 289th Howitzer Artillery Regiment of the Reserve of the Supreme High Command after withdrawing from the Kovel area, which held defense on the Malyi Obzyr, Berezhnytsia, Kashivka line.
On July 19, 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform and the liquidation of Kovel Raion (1940–2020), the village became part of the newly formed Kovel Raion.[4]
