Yezupil was previously referred to as part of the Galicz Powiat (county). It is also a part of the historic region of Pokuttya in Galicia.
Turn of the century wies/village Jezupol (former Zhovten > Tysmennytskij raion/district > Ivano-Frankivska Oblast/region [formerly Stanislawow woj.] ) was a fair size village ( with its own Jewish Kahil and RC & GC Churches) in Galicia/Halychyna > Austro-Hungarian Empire. Current zip code for village is 77431.
It is appx 7 km from Halych, the former capital of the Halych-Vohlynian Principality in the 10/12th centuries. Up until the 16th century it was a village named Tzaishibesi, which had a wooden fortress. When the fort was destroyed during one of the Tatar incursions, Jacob Pototski, Breslau Wojiwoda and private owner of the village, renamed it Jesupol, after Jesus. In 1598, a fortress & Dominican monastery was erected, and the town developed next to it. The monastery had a rich and famous library of ancient scriptures and prints.
