History
Dzvyniach was first mentioned in 1450 as part of a court case between two members of the szlachta. As a result of the case, the population of Dzvyniach was required to pay tithe from their beekeeping operations, as well as a tenth of their agricultural harvest. During the Khmelnytsky Uprising, residents of Dzvyniach fought under Semen Vysochan. The village also is economically sustained by the Solotvyn salt mine and local ozokerite mines, established by Austrian industrialists in the 19th century.
