History
The first written mention of Pistyn appears in 1375 and is related to clarifying the ownership rights of the salt springs located there. In 1416, King Władysław II Jagiełło confirmed the granting of the village of Pistyn (Pyestina) to Vasylko Teptukovych. The tax register of 1515 documented 4 lany (about 100 hectares) of cultivated land and another 3 lany that were temporarily free.[2]
On 19 July 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform and liquidation of the Kosiv Raion, the village became part of the Kosiv Raion.[3]
