Bilohiria (Ukrainian: Білогір'я); formerly known as Liakhivtsi) is a Rural settlement in Shepetivka Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, western Ukraine.

[5] Nearby urban localities include Yampil (formerly Yampol or Iampol), Kremenets, and Kornytsya.

[6] The region surrounding Liakhivtsi was known to be settled by at least the 12th century,[7] when residents of the Kyiv area migrated west to Volhynia and beyond.

The settlement of Liakhivtsi (Ukrainian: Ляхівці; Polish: Lachowce) was founded in 1441 on Bilohiria's modern-day territory.

[11] Polish influence increased over the 15th and 16th centuries, with Poland taking official control in 1569 with the Treaty of Lublin.

Cultural life in Volhynia flourished under Polish rule, interrupted by the 1648 Chmielnicki Khmelnytsky Uprising massacres, which killed many Jewish residents.

German forces invaded Russia in June 1941, and within a year, murdered virtually the entire Jewish population of Lechowitz.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Bilohiria became a rural settlement.
