Sheshory was first mentioned in 1427[3] or 1445,[4] although evidence of human settlement in the village dates to the Stone Age.[3] The village is located near the Pistynka[uk] river, and several waterfalls are located near the village. A sanatorium and tourist resort both exist in the village.[4]
A monument to the writer, poet, and artist Taras Shevchenko, created by Ivan Honchar[uk],[7] was opened by Viacheslav Chornovil in his capacity as a Komsomol worker on 8 August 1965. As a result of the speech Chornovil gave during the opening of the monument, he was removed from the Komsomol.[8] A plaque commemorating the speech is placed at the bottom of the monument. Another monument, to the writer and poet Ivan Franko, was erected in the village on 13 August 1995.[7]
