History
On 3 March 1578, King Stephen Báthory granted Stanislav Kopychynetskyi the privilege of founding a town under German (Teutonic) law on his own land, simply called Krohulets, located on the Nichlava River and near the Visiencha Forest.[1]
From 24 July 2015, Krohulets has been a member of the Vasylkivtsi rural hromada.[2]
After the liquidation of the Husiatyn Raion on 19 July 2020, the village became part of the Ternopil Raion.[3]
