History
It was the site of the Hutsul Republic after World War I, and the birthplace of several prominent Ukrainians declaring independence from the Kingdom of Hungary. This republic was ended by Romanian troops on June 11, 1919. Yasinia ultimately passed to Czechoslovakia according to the Treaty of Trianon. From 1919 to 1939, it was its easternmost settlement. Hungary again occupied and annexed it as part of Carpathian Ruthenia in 1939 and held it until the end of World War II. It was given to the Soviet Union in 1945.

Until 26 January 2024, Yasinia was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Yasinia became a rural settlement.

The wooden church in Yasinia appears on several stamps of the area, including the first stamp of Carpatho-Ukraine.
