History
Korovyntsi was first mentioned at some point in the 17th century. It was occupied by the Red Army in January 1918 during the Ukrainian–Soviet War. The village was also the location of battles between the Red Army and Nestor Makhno's Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine.
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an underground network of Ukrainian partisans fought against Russian military forces. A "green corridor" for refugees was also planned to go through the village during the invasion.
Vyshyvankas from Korovyntsi are notable for their unique floral patterns on the sleeves of the vyshyvanka.
