History
Until 18 July 2020, Maheriv belonged to Zhovkva Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Lviv Oblast to seven. The area of Zhovkva Raion was merged into Lviv Raion.[3][4]
Until 26 January 2024, Maheriv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Maheriv became a rural settlement.[5]
