History

edit

Murovane was first mentioned in 1454, and was historically dominated by a local vegetable farming industry.[2] In 1939, according to Volodymyr Kubijovyč, the village had a population of 1,320. Of this population, 1,090 were Ukrainians, 200 were Polish people (including 80 Osadniks), 20 were Latynnyky, and ten were Jews.[3]

In the present day, there remains a moderately-sized Polish community in Murovane; according to the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine, Poles comprise around 5% of the population, as of 2001.[2]
