History
In 1553 Mikołaj Potocki (Crown Field Guard) of King Sigismund II Augustus court obtains a privilege from King to establish a miasteczko (market town) in place of the village of Jablonow. For faster development it was granted the Magdeburg rights and relieved of state taxes for 15 years. Eventually Jablonow remained a village, and the miasteczko named Suchostaw was established nearby. The coat of arms of the place was Pilawa (the owner's) on the blue field, with the golden fish on the bottom (Only fish remained on the current c.o.a.). Over time it changed owners. It was destroyed during the Khmelnytsky Cossack Uprising (1648-1657) and rebuilt again. During the Partitions of Poland it belonged to the Austrian Partition.

Jewish history
When the mizateczko was restored after the Cossack Uprising, Jewish innkeepers, renters and tradesmen started settling the place. During World War I some 200 Jews emigrated, but some 40 families stayed, engaged in small crafts and peddling.

During World War II the Jewish population was expelled to the nearby town of Khorostkiv and most probably they were exterminated during the Holocaust.
